We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, Judith C. Stewart, who passed away January 7, 2025 at the age of 79.
Judith was born February 12, 1945, in Devils Lake, North Dakota. She later moved to Benson, Minnesota, where she lived for 23 years. During her time in Benson, she worked at Kelly's Gas Station and the Municipal Liquor Store, building lasting relationships with her community.
In her later years, Judith found her calling as a Baker at Perkins, where she worked for 38 years. Her dedication and talent in her career made her a cherished colleague, and her family was proud of the joy she brought to her work and others.
Judith is survived by her son, Darrell Stewart (Nancy Rustad Stewart); grandchildren: Britta Stewart (son Grant) and Rachel (Alex) Kovala; daughter Caroline; daughter Melinda (Russ) Smelter; grandchildren: Nathan and Jared Smelter; daughter Melissa (Joe) Logan; grandchildren: Shane (Brittany) Stewart and Krystal (Tom) Knorr; siblings: Bud Mootz, Mavis (Mootz) Janzen, and brother-in-law Jerry Janzen.
Judith's warmth, humor, and love for her family will be deeply missed.
