Teresa Janal Stewart

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day." — 2 Timothy 4:7–8 (NKJV)

Teresa Janal Stewart, age 57, passed away on January 5, 2026. She was a poet whose words, spirit, and authenticity left a lasting mark on everyone she encountered. Teresa had a rare gift for expressing truth and emotion through her writing, and through both her words and her life, she touched not only her family but an entire community.

She was a loving mother, devoted sister, caring aunt, and a cherished friend to many. Teresa’s presence was powerful yet welcoming, and her legacy will live on through the memories she created, the lives she influenced, and the poetry she shared with the world. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

Teresa’s voice, her words, and her impact will continue to echo through the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
