Born on February 12, 1937, in Belleville, PA, to the late Chester Campbell Stewart and Anna Margaret Jane (Young) Stewart.

Borsh (Ron) of Dunedin, FL; six grandchildren, Graham (Veronica), Thomas (Michelle), Kyle (Chelsea), Tamara (Adam), Elizabeth (Jess), and Phillip; and eight great grandchildren, Madeleine, Olive, Ruby, Clementine, Piper, Wells, Ignatius, and Maggie.
