Dorothy Ann Lucy (Coleman) Stewart of Piedmont, West Virginia born on September 10, 1939 went to be with our Lord on September 11, 2021.
Lovingly known to her family and friends as Dausey, Honey, Dos Ann, Luce, and Presley, Dorothy has been described as a bright light that never fades.

As humble as she was, Honey was blessed with so many precious gifts. She sang worship songs like an angel, baked like a world-class chef (her rolls, cookies, cakes and fried chicken are made with love and known and requested across the country), and shined and shared the light of the Lord everywhere she went just by being herself As a devoted Christian, she saw God in everything and believed that "All things work together for good to those that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose".
