FELTON — John A. Stewart passed away Sunday, March 29, 2015 at Delaware Hospice Center, Milford. Son of the late Lee J. and Adie Mae Stewart.

Mr. Stewart worked for Playtex for almost 30 years. In his spare time, he enjoyed camping, and enjoyed staying in Ft. Myers, Fla. from January through April with their friends. He also enjoyed fishing and wood working. He was always making knick knacks and crafts. Baking was a favorite
activity as well and he loved to bake cakes. During hunting season he could be found in the woods looking to shoot the perfect buck.

Mr. Stewart will be remembered as a sweet person, very appreciative, and was always saying thank you to everyone. He was quite the jokester, and always had a smile on his face. He will be remembered as a proud and loving husband, father, and grandfather, who always stuck to his Baptist beliefs.

The family would like to thank his niece, Barbara Ann Bunting and the Maximum Health Care Workers for all their help and services they provided.
