Biography

What a Lady, What a strong presence in my life. Greta was always in my life. When I was a child she was raising her children, some around my age. She treated you as another of her children, kind, caring and compassionate. I remember her with fondness. She liked to state we were Stubborn Stewarts. She needed that stubbornness, it kept her going in her last days. Greta lived her last years with bone cancer, but stayed at her home she passed away in her living room surrounded by her family.
