Fannie Stewart

Fannie Mae Ison Stewart, 94, of Ashland, died April 10, 2019, following an extended illness. She was

born February 26, 1925, in Catlettsburg, to Charles and Lora Ison.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, James Stewart; her brothers, William,

Curtis and Allan; and two grandsons, Robbie Lewis Byrd and Shannon Michael Newman.

She is survived by her three children, Beverly (and Bill) Vice of St. Augustine, Fla.; Chere (and Gene)

Hallahan of Ashland; and James (and Jodi) Stewart II of Winchester, Va. Grandchildren, James (and

Tianne) Newman of Ashland; Angela (and Jarrod) Geary of Ashland; Alex Stewart of Sterling, Va.; and

Audrey Stewart of Winchester, Va. Greatgrandchildren Jacob, Taylor, Charlize, Alina, Journey and

She was a graduate of Thomas R. Brown High School in Catlettsburg. She retired from Sears in

1986. And she enjoyed being team mom to the Ashland area baseball teams that her husband

coached. She was reared in the Nazarene tradition. And she dearly loved her church and her God

and family and without personal regard gave to those in need. She always had a kind word to those

who stopped by while she sat on her porch. She was an avid stamp collector. The flowers that adorn

the corner of Nolte Street and South 29th Street were planted by her and enjoyed by all.

The funeral service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at Rose Hill Burial Park Mausoleum Chapel with Rev.

Gene Hallahan officiating. Visitation will be at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Neal-Kilgore Collier Funeral

Home in Catlettsburg.
