Stewart, Gloria “Flo” Wanda – With gratitude for a life lived to the fullest, we announce the passing of loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Gloria “Flo” Wanda Stewart at home in beautiful Upper Stewiacke on August 2, 2022.
There is not enough space to accurately describe and fully capture Gloria and the person she truly was to others. If you knew her, you know what I mean. Gloria was a woman of tremendous strength and determination; who could do anything and convince others that they too, could achieve anything they wanted. Gloria made you feel loved and accepted, without prejudice or judgement. She always made others feel at home while in her company. Gloria was always so thoughtful and considerate of others and her impact on those who have met her, carry through with them for life. Gloria was forever grateful for the life she had been given, as she often told others that she would not change her life for anything and that she had lived the perfect life; with a husband who was her best friend, and children (and grandchildren) who, in their own ways, are her legacy.
Gloria was a giant and made her cancer diagnosis look small in comparison since the first battle began at the age of 42. Her drive and determination to not let this disease deter her from what she wanted to accomplish in life allowed Gloria to live the life she set for herself. She became a motorcycle enthusiast after her first diagnosis and she never let cancer slow her down from accomplishing any of her goals. When Gloria wanted to do something or learn something new and challenging, she did it, without another thought. Gloria was a fierce fighter, with great strength and determination, who was compassionate and caring. She was the one to provide support when in need, space when desired and allowed us all who have known her the ability to find our own path.
A Celebration of Gloria’s Life will be held August 15 at 2 p.m. in Upper Stewiacke United Church, 5511 Highway 289, with a reception to follow.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
