Patricia Marlene (Marnie) Stewart

Patricia Marlene "Marnie" Stewart, a beloved wife, mother, and friend, passed away unexpectedly at her home on June 20, 2026. Born on March 10, 1965, in Oak Grove, Oregon, Marnie brought warmth and joy to all who knew her throughout her 61 years of life. Marnie was the cherished daughter of Robert and Geri, who preceded her in death along with her sister Glenda and beloved daughter Katie. She is survived by her husband, Steve, and her two loving children, Sarah and Brian (Kat). Her family was her greatest pride and joy, and she found immense fulfillment in their accomplishments and happiness. A graduate of Rex Putnam High School in 1983, Marnie took her education and applied it to a career in the insurance industry, where she worked diligently for many years. However, she always considered her most significant achievements to be her two adult children, whose lives are a testament to her nurturing spirit and unwavering support. Marnie had a special talent for making everyone feel welcome and valued. Her kindness and generosity were boundless, and her love touched the lives of many. She had a passion for puzzles and knitting, each stitch and piece a reflection of her patience and creativity. Marnie found peace and joy in nature, especially at the beach, where she could often be found collecting seashells. Her affinity for snowmen brought a touch of whimsy and warmth to the colder months, much like her presence did in the lives of those around her. Though the family has already held a private gathering at her home to celebrate Marnie's life, her memory will continue to be cherished by all who knew her. The family expresses their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe account, which provided invaluable support during this difficult time.
