Peacefully, with his family at his side, at Ed’s House Hospice in Cobourg on Monday November 30, 2020, Stewart Sprague at 77 years of age. Beloved husband of Donna Sprague (nee Chisholm). Loving father of Kirk Sprague (Debora), and Erica Naccarato (Mike). Cherished grandfather of David (Andrea), Zachary (Lucas), Julianna (Sean), and Eric. Great grandfather of Aaralynn. Dear brother of Dr. William (Bill) Sprague (Geraldine). Loved brother in law of Marilyn (Sterling) Anthony, Jacqueline (Faron) Whynott, and Sandra Chisholm. Predeceased by sister in law Cheryl Beck. Also missed by his many nieces and nephews.
Stewart lived a full life with Donna, and no matter where life took him, all felt his “Joie de vivre”. Many will miss his sense of humour and laughter. He spent his career teaching at C.D.C.I. West where he enjoyed many friendships and shared his love of the arts. Stewart was active in the art community of Northumberland County, belonging to many local clubs and sharing his passion for arts with others. Stewart spent his summers connecting with his East Coast family and friends on Forbes Beach, Nova Scotia. Family, travel, teaching, music and arts were a few Stewart’s passions.
The family would like to thank the many caregivers that supported Stewart through his illness. The home care team from St Elizabeth Nursing, especially Holly, Drs. Mulé and Essak. The care team at Ed’s House especially his primary health team, Joan and Robyn. The family would like to thank the many friends and family members that attended Ed’s Place on November 30, 2020. This support and participation in the Honour Guard to provide Stewart with a send off, fitting of a man loved by so many. The family was pleased but not surprised to see so many turn up to pay tribute to Stewart. There will be a scattering of ashes on Saturday October 23rd, at 2pm at the Heritage Cemetery of St. Peter. A reception will follow at the family home. Please dress for the weather. In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations in memory of Stewart to be provided to Ed’s House – Northumberland Hospice or The Cornerstone Family Violence Prevention Centre, Cobourg, Ontario.
