On October 12, 2006 God dispatched an angel from heaven to Idessa Stewart and whispered to her ''Peace be thine''. She closed her eyes to the world and awakened into her new home beyond the skies, where there will be no more sickness and no more pain. Idessa blessd the world with her presence on June 30, 1930, born to the late Matthew and Priscilla Rogers. She was the third child of six children. Two sisters and three brothers preceded her in death. Idessa received her formal education in the public schools of Baltimore City, Maryland. She gave her life to Christ at an early age. After a meaningful courtship, she was united in Holy Matrimony to William Stewart on October 27, 1963, from this union there were seven children born to them five daughters and two sons. One daughter and one son preceded her in death. Idessa was employed at Shofers Furniture Company where she retired in 1989. She was affectionately known as ''Mama'', ''Grandma'' and ''Great Granny''. There were three important elements in Idessa life - God, her family and friends. She lit a match in darkness of each element and planted it in everyone she touched. She nurtured through trials and rejoiced in the glow of triumphs. Always uppermost, in her daily life was her caring love and devoted concerns she met along life's way. Her children call her ''Blessed'' for her love for them has left an indelible impression upon their lives. One of her primary joys was the close intimate relationship she had with her husband William Jazz/Boo, he truly was a loving and very devoted husband, who stood by her side throughout her illness, her relatives will miss her strength, wisdom, encouragement, and loving glow. Heaven is receiving one who found great delight in living her life to the glory and the ''Praise of Christ Our Lord''. She leaves to chrish her memory: her devoted husband, William H. Stewart; one son, William G. Stewart Gerard; four daughters, Fabra M. Stewart Tiny, Sharon R. Johnson Nay, Stephanie P. Stewart, Charisse D.
