She married William Francis “Bill” Stewart on December 12, 1959 in Kansas City, Mo. He preceded her in death on February 6, 2019.
She and Bill co-owned and operated the Stewart Trash Service for many years. Mary was a member of the First Baptist Church, Clinton; and T.O.P.S. She enjoyed flower gardening, cooking and baking, canning the fruits and vegetables they grew from their garden, but most of all she enjoyed being with her family and grandkids. In her quiet time she found great peace in reading her Bible.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents; one son, Jeffrey Stewart on June 28, 2022; son-in-law, Mike Williams on June 16, 2015; and several brothers and sisters.
