Bio

It is with deep sadness that we announce Beatrice “Bea” Katherine Stewart, 88, of Waco, Texas, formerly of Tours, took her last breath on Sunday, October 27, 2019. Bea was married for over 30 years to Claude H. Stewart of Waco, Texas, where they met at the box office of the Waco Hippodrome shortly before the 1953 tornado. Bea loved music, the movies and loved to dance. As told by her, rumor had it that there were bets on how long their marriage would last since Claude didn’t dance. After they married, they adopted their son Charles H. Stewart from the Methodist Children’s Home. Bea worked for H.E.B. until she retired with them in the late 1980s. She always spoke highly of H.E.B. and never met a stranger. Bea loved decorating for Christmas and spoiling her grandchildren. She always enjoyed spending time with those she loved. She loved to shop and have an occasional beer. Forever full of zest, even at 88, Bea still managed to make those around her laugh. Bea was preceded in death by Claude in 1987. is survived by sister Genie Staggs of Irving, TX, brother Billy Holzer of Truth of Consequences, NM, son Charles Stewart (Nikki) of Rockwall, TX, and grandchildren Katie Dawson (Rhett) of Waco, TX, and Jared Stewart of Farmers Branch, TX, including several nieces, nephews and extended family members from the Staggs, Courson, Holzer and Regan families. A small private family gathering will be held in her honor. Obituary published online 18 Nov 2019 by Lake Shore Funeral Home, Waco, Texas.
