Elizabeth Walker Stewart, age 86, of Vero Beach, FL, died May 10, 2025.

Elizabeth was born in Philadelphia, PA, in 1939 to Horace Walker and Elizabeth Geggis. Betty, as she was affectionately known, attended Girls’ High and, following graduation, attended secretarial school. In 1958, she married Frederick Stewart Jr., and they were married for 67 years. Before the birth of her three children, Betty worked for the Philadelphia Electric Company, and later, when the children were in elementary school, she took a position with Philco-Ford. Betty also attended Montgomery County Community College, earning an associate’s degree. From the mid-1970s until her retirement in 1991, Betty worked at Thomas Jefferson University in the Office of Institutional Advancement.

In retirement, Betty enjoyed traveling with her husband Fred to over 30 countries on six continents. She delighted in playing with her grandchildren and could often be found walking them to a playground or the dollar store. In the kitchen, her grandchildren were always excited to help her make bread or use the juicer with her.

Betty was a member of the Daughters of the King and spent many hours volunteering for St. David’s by the Sea in Cocoa Beach, FL.

Elizabeth Stewart is survived by her husband Frederick, brother Carl Walker (Louise), children Frederick Stewart III (Susan Lynn), Elizabeth Stewart Tate (Gerald) Christine Stewart McCourt (Russell Schmidt); grandchildren, Samuel Tate (Lauren) Stephanie, Benjamin, Trinity, Gabe and Rachel; great-grandchildren Liam and Noah.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at a future date.
