Audrey Nadine Stewart, age 92 of Port Deposit, MD passed away on Thursday, May 14, 2026. She was born on January 16, 1934, in Crumpler, NC, and was the daughter of the late Joseph Caswell Spicer Sr. and the late Iva Lee (Eller) Spicer.

Nadine was known for her unwavering dedication to those she loved. Her life was devoted to nurturing her family, a role she embraced with passion and commitment as a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother.

She was a devoted member of the Nottingham Missionary Baptist Church for 43 years. Her faith was her guiding light, and she found profound joy in the fellowship and community that the church provided. Her love for gospel music was a reflection of her faith, and its melodies often filled her home.

Nadine grew up in a generation that valued faith, family, and a strong work ethic and she practiced what she preached. She found joy in the simple pleasures. She especially loved watching the birds outside her window, as well as her cherished pastime of crocheting various items that warmed the hearts of those around her. Throughout the years, she enjoyed losing herself in the pages of a good book, most especially her Bible, which was never far from her side. Nadine’s love for storytelling was evident as she recounted her past, weaving her memories with her words. In recent years, her evenings were often spent watching her favorite cooking show, “A Seat At The Table,” where she drew inspiration. She was also a fan of Fox News and keeping up with current events in the world around her.

Above all, her greatest pride and joy were her children and grandchildren, whom she loved with all her heart. Her life was a beautiful tapestry of love, faith, and family.

Nadine is survived by her children: Debbie Jackson (husband, Jimmy), Cheryl Zueger (husband, Mark), Steve Stewart (wife, Brenda), Mark Stewart (wife, Sherri), Janice Jones (husband, Michael), and Matthew W. Stewart (wife, Alice); 14 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, and 7 great-great grandchildren; siblings: Peggy Catron, Ann Roe, Joe Spicer, Rose Toscani, and Gwynn Spicer.

In addition to her parents, Nadine is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Howell Ray Stewart; sons: Jeffrey Gwynn Stewart, and Robert James Stewart; grandchildren: Lindsey Stewart, and Nicholas Stewart; and brother Barry Eugene Spicer.
