ELIZABETH STEWART
(nee MOORE)
Liz was predeceased by her husband of 60 years, Jack, in 2018. She will be sadly missed by her children, Diane and Allan Gilders, Glen and Monica Stewart, Colleen and Keith Bytheway; and by her nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, Serena Taylor (Fraser, Elijah, Noah, and Micah), Mackenzie (Liz), and Jackson (Emma) Wardle, Vaughn and Chloe Stewart, Hayden (Bianca), Brock (Abbey), Foster and Graeme Bytheway. She is also survived by brothers, Ian (Joanne), and Bob (Sue) Moore; brother-in-law Bob (Heather) Stewart, a large extended family, and many great friends.
Born in Winnipeg, Liz grew up in Woodhaven, and graduated from St. James Collegiate. As a young girl, Mom was an accomplished speed skater, and played hockey with the kids at the rink when there weren't enough boys to ice a team. She married Jack, her lifelong love, in 1958, and soon moved to Freemont Bay, where together, they raised their children, and made many lasting friendships. In those years Mom worked primarily in banking, when she wasn't busy driving kids to ice rinks, piano lessons, dance, and gymnastics. After raising their own family and retiring, Jack and Liz opened a day care, where they enjoyed having young ones again in their home to nurture and care for. Many kids and parents came through their doors; a few of these relationships deepened and were cherished as years went by.
Mom had many talents which she generously shared with friends and family. She loved to entertain and created delicious meals and treats. Mom was a gifted seamstress and quilter. Even in her last few days she was putting final touches on yet another baby quilt for her family. Mom also volunteered her sewing talents to the Days for Girls charity. She greatly enjoyed sewing and visiting with her fellow seamstresses and improving the lives of girls around the globe. Above all, Mom was a gifted artist. Mom belonged to the Charleswood Art Group and worked mainly in water colours. She loved to learn from her peers and she valued greatly her relationships with her art friends. Many of Mom's friends and family have benefitted from her amazing work. Her memory will live on, through all of her cherished creations.
The family would like to express sincere gratitude to Michael Wilson of Charleswood United Church for his time and compassion.
Cremation has taken place. Special thanks to Neil Bardal Funeral Centre.
To honour Mom's wishes, a public service will not be held.
If you so wish, donations can be made in Mom's memory to a charity of your choice.

Our deepest sympathy to Elizabeth's family - Diane, Colleen and Glen and your families. You Mom was such a special person and she was always so proud of all of you. So sorry this note is late - I just heard the sad news that Elizabeth had passed away. I am remembering the days when our daughters took Highland Dance lessons at the same time - Elizabeth was so very kind and patient - showing me how to sew a kilt! She was so talented in so many ways. We will miss the beautiful, artistic Christmas cards and newsletters we received every year from Elizabeth - also having lunch together at Days for Girls workshops. Love you Liz - rest in peace! - Posted by: Ollie Elaschuk (Friend) on: Dec 01, 2020

I feel privileged to have been friends with Liz through church and more closely, through her involvement with the Days for Girls Winnipeg Chapter. Liz was so supportive of the work of this charity and she willingly shared her expertise at group events or working from home. I will miss her deeply. My heartfelt condolences to all the family. I know Colleen through work at Grace Hospital and I have seen the closeness of this family that will help you be strong through these tough days. Thinking of you. - Posted by: Janet Menec (Friend, Days for Girls Winnipeg Chapter Lead) on: Nov 03, 2020

I will miss Liz, too and the long phone chats we often enjoyed. She was so proud of all her family and your accomplishments . She shared your triumphs with me . You have inherited and extended her many talents. Her stories often amazed me with all the fields of endeavour in which you excelled. You all "did her proud". She didn't "brag" or bore me with her stories. She was just telling me that you are a clever and talented group (as are my children and grandchildren!) and I enjoyed listening to her . She fought a brave battle and, as far as I was concerned, did not complain about the cards she was dealt these last few years. She struggled to maintain her independence and to get as much out of life as she could. She had a lot of Wishart strength and tenacity!. - Posted by: Shirley Case (Wishart cousin) on: Oct 31, 2020
