Service will be held Friday, June 23, 2023 at W.E. Lusain Funeral Home and Crematory (2060 Germantown Street/Dayton, Oh 45417). Visitation will begin at 12:00pm and service to follow at 1:00pm. 

Stephanie Fay(Cannady) Stewart, age 65 of Dayton, left this earthly world and on to her eternal one on Wednesday, June 14th, 2023. Stephanie was born on March 13th, 1958 in Tallassee, Alabama. She moved to Dayton, Ohio at a very young age with her mother and has lived here the rest of her life. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, neice, cousin and friend. She retired from New Hope Villa after over 20 years of excellent service.

She was a very loving, strong, big hearted and kind woman. Stephanie was a giver and always put her family first no matter what. She was an avid lover of anything dealing with nature and wanted nothing more than to be living in the wilderness of Alaska surrounded by the beauty that God created. She loved spending time with her grandkids and her crazy but lovable dog FiFi. She was just the center of our world and our world is much darker since she left us. We love her to the moon and back as always never forget.

Stephanie was preceded in death by her mother Erma Dean Shealey. She leaves to cherish her beautiful memory her husband Kevin Stewart, her five children Carlos Cannady, Terrell Cannady, Stacey(Mark) Watson, Eric(Candace) Cannady and Stephania Pierce. She is also survived by a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, other family and friends. She had a very special and close bond with her granddaughter Zyla Crawford that will never be broken.

Time certainly has not made it easier to be without you. We are still missing you every damn day. I miss our talks, texts and just sitting on your back porch enjoying the weather and listening to you talk about your life. I love you to the moon and back momma. I wish I could get one more hug or even a now Stacey Mae.
Love always,
Your broken hearted big baby

Mom yesterday was 2 months since you left us, and it hasn't gotten any easier. I love you always. If you can please send me a sign that you are ok so I can sleep and not think about you 24/7. Sleep peacefully, love you to the moon and back.

Momma yesterday was one month since you left us and the hurt isn’t getting any less. I wish you would let me know you are ok so I can sleep at night. Sleep is getting less and less these days. Losing you hurt my soul and I doubt I will ever be the same. Loving you always… for now can you please watch over me.

Mama we said see you later to you on Friday and that was the hardest thing in the world to see you for the last of a very long time. It was beautiful too, all of your kids and most of your grandkids all together you would have been beaming from ear to ear if you were there. Save a seat for me next to you and I can’t wait to hug you and tell you I love you once more. As always I love you to the moon and back.

I love you always to the moon and back from your broken hearted big baby

One of  my favorite memory of my mother is her scratching and greasing my scalp. It was special because living in a house full it was hard to get one on one time with her. She would tell me about her life as a kid and ask me things that I could only tell her and it was nice just the two of us.  My other favorite memory is my mom’s back porch we have had countless conversations, reminiscing about life and even shed some tears on that porch. She would listen and give you advice whether you liked it or not and always made you feel like you matter. She knew I was this shy,awkward socially challenged kid but never made me feel bad about. She said she was always team Stacey and I will forever be team momma. We never went more than a day or two speaking and we always said  I love you. It was the last thing she said to  me and it rings clearly in my mind every night before I go to sleep.
