Obituary for Ann "Nancy" Stewart
ANN FIELD STEWART
June 26, 1926 - February 12, 2022
Ann Field Stewart (‘Nancy’) was born in New York City, only child of Edward and Helen Field. She grew up in Pelham, graduated from Smith College in 1947, married Thomas Penney Stewart in 1950, and raised a family while he served as Presbyterian minister in Ballston Spa, Roslyn, and Buffalo, NY.
Mrs Stewart taught English at Buckley Country Day School in Roslyn from 1964 to 1973 while earning a MA in Education at C. W. Post. She went on to teach at The Park School in Buffalo from 1973 through 1983, and then abroad at Nido de Águilas in Santiago, Chile; The International School of Curacao; and Koc Ozel Lisesi in Istanbul, Turkey.
After she retired to Rossmoor NJ, Mrs Stewart continued to write for various publications. She was successful in petitioning the Twilight Wish Foundation for a blimp flight, albeit not over her beloved Fire Island. Mrs Stewart was an active member of the summer community of Point O’Woods from her earliest years, and it remained her true home until her death.
She was also an active church member, a volunteer, and advocate for many causes. Mrs Stewart’s legacy includes her beloved and loving family: daughters - Kate Stewart, Elizabeth Stewart Bannon (Tony) and Alison Stewart; grandsons – Clinton Brown (Danya Sarkar), Peter Brown (Janine), Cameron Dall (Jayne Simpson) and Javier Fonseca; as well as great-grandchildren - Kavi and Anisah Brown, and Elizabeth, Thomas and Edward Brown.
There will be a Memorial Service 11am on Thursday, June 16th at the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury in NJ. Barlow & Zimmer Funeral Home can be contacted for details.
The family extend their respect and thanks to the Good Samaritan, First Responders, and staff of Robert Woods Johnson ICU for their care in her final hours.
