Carol Ann Stewart, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away on May 18, 2025, at the age of 82. Born on October 30, 1943, Carol lived a full and joyful life in Independence, MO.

Carol is survived by her devoted husband, Donald Stewart; children, James Garr and Karla Garr; step-children, Donnie, Steve, Judy, and Scott Stewart; seven grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.
Carol dedicated her life to caring for others, working as a babysitter for many years. She cherished the children in her care and was deeply loved by them in return. In her free time, Carol enjoyed being outdoors taking grandkids fishing and boating. She also loved going to the casino.
Per Carol’s wishes, she will be cremated with no public service. Her family and friends will deeply miss her, but they take comfort in the memories of her love, kindness, and generosity.
Rest in peace, Carol Ann Stewart. Your love and legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew you.

I know your world just got turned upsidedown and inside out. My heart breaks for you and Bradley. I wish I could find some magical words that could ease your grief and dry your tears but there are none. What I can do is Thank you for letting me a part of your life that gave me the honor to experience your mom. I can’t help but laugh a bit even now when we would go see your mom and this petite little lady with a southern accent soaked up every minute visiting with you while asking about the grandkids. She was the only one that could make your smile reach past your eyes. Please call me if it gets too overwhelming or too intense or if you just need reminded how much your mom loves you. I consider it an honor to have known a soul that can make the sun shines so bright that the even darkness melts into light.
