Obituary of Nancy Dora STEWART (nee Dobrowolsky)

February 27, 1947 – Lachine, Quebec
July 16, 2021 – Calgary, Alberta

Nancy Dora Stewart passed away peacefully while listening to her favourite song on Friday, July 16, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. with her husband Mark, daughter Laura and son Matthew by her side in Calgary, AB, the place she always wanted to be with her family. Her brother Jerry, sister-in-law Bernie, nephew Erik, brother-in-law Chris, son-in-law Weston, Bubbles, Lucy, Whiskey, Bailey, Kahlua, and the army of her amazing friends and family surrounding her in her life were all there in spirit.

Nancy was born on February 27, 1947 in Lachine, QC, and moved to Toronto, ON, with her parents and brother in 1954, where she would build a wonderful life and family. She was an amazing human who would light up the room when she walked in and was the life of the party. There was never a dull moment when Nancy Pants was there! She touched so many people's lives and so many of us share our best memories with her. She was truly the definition of young at heart with her fiery red hair and contagious spirit. She was the best mom, wife, friend, neighbour and person to hug when you were having a bad day. She lived her life dancing, listening to Steely Dan, laughing, playing cards, joking around, and telling stories of all her adventures. Whether it be at Camp Palermo, on the beaches of Cuba, backpacking around Spain, enjoying the rodeo at Stampede, or sitting on the back deck at 68 Evans, Nancy always kept us smiling with her energy in life.

We will never forget you Nancy. You are our everything. You are our feather. One day, we will meet you on Ventura Highway, in the sunshine.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Toronto when we can all get together safely in the near future. Details of the gathering will be sent to loved ones at a later date. Until then, please remember Nancy and all the joy she brought to our lives, and keep her spirit alive. Condolences, memories and photos can also be shared and viewed here.
