BONO – Rosalie Mae (Meredith) Stewart, 89, passed away at 6:15 a.m. Saturday, March 14, 2015, at her son’s home in Bono.

Born August 17, 1925, in Hall, Indiana, she was the daughter of Roy Earl and Parrie Mae (Taylor) Meredith.  She married Norman Herbert Stewart June 19, 1949, and he preceded her in death July 20, 1983.

Rosalie was a former Lawrence County Treasurer serving from 1985-1996.  She worked in various offices in the Courthouse for over 40 years.  She was a member of the Bono United Methodist Church until its closing and attended the Mitchell First Baptist Church until her death.  She was a longtime member of the Theta Zeta Chapter of Phi Beta Psi Sorority, and served many years as a Pink Lady at Dunn Memorial Hospital.  Rosalie enjoyed attending a women’s Bible study group and going on outings with her many friends. She was always quick to feed any family stopping by her house.  During their high school years, she served her grandsons and their friends lunch twice a week. Her bright smile and twinkling eyes will be missed.

    I remember Dean's mother as being on the go all the time. She struck me as a person who loved to keep busy, and when my son, Adam, told me how he had eaten lunch in her home during the school day with her grandsons, I was doubly impressed. What a great way to stay connected to grandsons--by feeding them and their friends! Thoughts are with Dean and Paula, their sons and families.
