Dorothy Alene Stewart went to her heavenly home on Monday, April 29, 2024, after 79 years of living graciously and abundantly.  Born May 13, 1944, in a large, loving, Christian family, she lived a Godly life, always positive and joyful with a sweet smile for everyone. Known lovingly as "Butch" to her family and friends, she always asked about and helped others and saw the best in everyone.  She loved to sing and harmonize in church choirs with her beautiful alto voice.  Butch loved living on Caney Lake, boating, camping, and following sports through the years.  She loved to travel and "take a ride" to get out and see the sites and visit with people.  Her fashion sense was always "on point" as a true Southern lady, and in her younger years she enjoyed shopping with her sisters to see the latest styles.  Throughout her career, she worked in business administration, and retired after 30 plus years at Napa Auto Parts in Jonesboro.

Butch is survived by her longtime, devoted and loyal friend, Fay Wainwright, of Jonesboro and her brother Loy "Junior" Stewart of West Monroe, and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Odessa (nee Hicks) and L. L. Stewart, and 4 brothers and 4 sisters, including most recently her close sister, Rita Gail Morris, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Our beloved Butch will be greatly missed by all who loved and adored her and were blessed by her sweet spirit.  Well done, good and faithful servant!  A life celebration will be held on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, with visitation at 10 a.m. and service at 11 a.m. at Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home Chapel in Jonesboro.  In lieu of flowers, please consider giving in memory to the charity of your choice.
