Sis. Sharon Stewart was a 61 years old native of York, South Carolina. She worked for 35+ years in customer service at Wendy’s, a lounge in downtown Charlotte, and Burger King while raising her son, Mark, as a single mother. She served at Second Calvary Baptist Church in Charlotte for 32 years - There she was one of the kind church mothers known as much for her fashion as her powerful voice in the church choir. Her Facebook name "Sharon Spiritually Blessed Stewart" was a true description of the legacy of faith, inspiration, and lovingkindness she leaves behind.

In 2020, Sis. Stewart began experiencing neuropathy (nerve damage) in her toes, which caused a severe infection in her left big toe. While the doctor attempted to treat it she wore special shoes to work while she stood on her feet at least 40 hours a week as a manager at Burger King.

After the treatments failed, she was forced to have her toe removed in August 2022. Two weeks after the amputation, she suffered a stroke in her spinal cord that caused her to become wheelchair-bound and completely unable to walk. The day before Thanksgiving, she went in for a related procedure and after returning home she experienced further life-threatening complications.

Sis. Stewart wanted those around her to know that despite her declining health, she remained steadfast in her faith in God and Jesus Christ as well as her love for her family, friends, and community. Her determination to stay connected to the Holy Spirit during her illness was a powerful testimony and message to the world.
