Thoma Sue Stewart

Central, SC

Our beloved Thoma Sue Stewart passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at the age of 85. Born in Little Canada, North Carolina she was the widow of Milford Jenkins Stewart, Sr. and a daughter of the late Rev. Lewy Broom and Mattie Ammons Broom.

She was a member of Mile Creek Baptist Church.

She is survived by her three sons. Mickey Stewart (Angel) of Charleston, Ronald Stewart (Tonyia) of Central, and Richie Stewart of Central, her sisters Frances Parris of Boiling Springs, SC, Bonnie Gibson (Ronnie) of Rock Hill, SC, Linda Johnson of Frederick, MD. Six grandchildren, Jessica Stokes, Dylan Stewart (Alyssa), Falcon Stewart, Trinity Stewart, Georgia May (Max), and Ella Stewart. Also surviving are four beloved great grandchildren Lukas, Charlie Jane, Mazy, and Bryson.

Kindness and grace radiated from the woman most people will remember as ‘Sue’ or ‘Mammaw’. She was a godly woman who could be found reading her bible daily. She embodied patience and was often called a saint by those who knew her (and Mick) best. She was quiet, strong, and hardworking. She went back to school and received her GED as a grandmother- starring in a story by the local newspaper! Her three sons will tell you she had great aim with a hairbrush… but her great grandchildren will only tell you about lemon cookies and her loving smile. Her cooking was magical (even if Mick gave her grief for oversalting dishes once or twice) and the comfort she provided just by being nearby cannot be recreated.

Her grandkids fondly remember making biscuits with her and snapping green beans on the porch for dinner. She was calm and kind, sweet and steady. Her home was always warm and inviting, unless Mick had the woodstove/fireplace going… then it was just plain hot. Knowing Sue was a gift, and being a part of the family that she created is a blessing. Her gentle spirit and kind, soft voice will be missed endlessly but we are forever grateful to have known and loved Thoma Sue Stewart.

Funeral services to honor the life of Mrs. Stewart will be conducted 2:00 PM Wednesday, August 26, 2026 at Mile Creek Baptist Church. She will be laid to rest beside her husband in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 12:30 until 1:30 PM in the sanctuary of the church.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Patriot Hospice at 101 Grace Drive, Easley, SC 29640. We extend a heartfelt thank you to two special caregivers, Amy and Carolyn.
