On March 8, 2025, Mary C. Stewart (nee Ziegler), Born May 17, 1924, in Medina, Ohio, she was the daughter of the late Harold Young Ziegler and the late Lucille Eleanor Hunsberger. Mrs. Stewart attended Medina High School and then earned a bachelor's degree from Ohio Wesleyan University in Home Economics and Mathematics. Mrs. Stewart proudly served as a noncommissioned officer in the US Marine Corps from February 1945 to June 1946. Together with her husband, the late Edward L. Stewart, Mary raised four children of whom she was most proud. Mary had a passion for sewing which evolved over the years from doll clothes, needlepoint, draperies, wedding gowns, reupholstering, and ultimately to exquisite, hand-crafted quilts for which she became renowned in the Baltimore Community. Mary received blue ribbons, year after year, at the Maryland State Fair, and she was active in several quilters' groups, including the Baltimore Heritage Quilt Guild for which she served as president for several years. Mary is survived by her son Eric and his wife Adriane of St. Augustine, FL, her son Brian and his wife Nancy of Ocala, FL, her son Gary and his wife Pat of Ocean View, DE, and her son Scott and his wife Deborah of Hampton, VA. Mary is also survived by 7 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her brother Charles Ziegler and her brother Richard Ziegler.
