qT O M Y L O V E D O N E S

“I’m Free”I can see you all are grieving and hurt, release me, let me Go, for now I’m Free! I am following the path God laid for me. You musn’t tie yourself to me with tears, be happy that we had so many fantastic years. I gave you all my love, so I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it’s time I travel all alone.

If my parting has left you with a void, then fill it with remembered joy. Remember now . . . I had a full life with a loving family, great friends and good times. Perhaps my time sees all too brief; please don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. So, lift up your head, your heart and share with me, what God wanted, that was to set me Free!

qAMELIA “CAL” STEWART, was born August 5, 1945 to the late William Henry Stewart, Sr. and Willie Mae Stewart. She was the oldest of nine children. She was born and raised in Augusta, Georgia, where she was educated in the schools of Richmond County. She attended C.T. Walker Elementary School, A.R. Johnson Junior High School, and a 1963 graduate of the Lucy Craft Laney High School. After graduation, she embraced cosmetology school in order to help her mother with her younger sisters.

Cal was a dedicated mother to her two sons and grandson. She was the down-to-earth and cool neighborhood mother, known to them as “Momma Cal”. She was very popular and in great demand for her famous hash, macaroni and cheese and homemade dressing. Cal would try and tell stories the way they were told to her, but would always end up saying the wrong names or tell the story in the wrong way . . . believe it or not, this inspired people to want to be in her presence because she was funny.

Cal loved God, family and her friends. Her hobbies were cooking, dancing, laughing and socializing. She transitioned from this life on Monday, April 4, 2016.

Two of her siblings preceded her in death, Johnny Stewart and Tony Amos Stewart.

Amelia “Cal” Stewart leaves precious memories to: her beloved sons, daughter-in-law and future daughter-in-law, Willie Eugene (Yolanda) Stewart, Ronald Brazzle (Teresha McGriff); grandson, Juwuan “Jay” Stewart; two brothers and two sisters-in-law, William Henry (Blondie) Stewart, Jr. and Leon (Barbara) Stewart; four sisters and one brother-in-law, Amanda “Manda Mae” Stewart, Willie Maud Stewart, Henrietta S. (Malcolm) Hall and Alethea “Cookie” Levi, all of Augusta, Georgia; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
