Charlene Stewart

Opal Charlene Stewart, 78, of Texas City went to be with her Lord on May 17, 2021. Charlene was born September 28, 1942 to John and Opal (Smith) Garton in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. She married Henry Paul Stewart, Sr. on May 26, 1967. They raised their family in Texas City and were very active in the community. Charlene worked for American National Insurance Company in Galveston for 39 years. She could also be called a professional volunteer. If she was not spending countless hours as treasurer for the girls' softball league or running the concession stand at the softball field, you could find her doing something for some other club. She was involved and often times in a leadership role in the La Marque and Dickinson VFW Auxiliaries, Rebekahs Lodge or Grandmother's Club. One of her and Henry's passions was being involved in the Independence Village. Together they helped with their monthly Special People Dance as well as gathered donations to make care packages or crafts for them. Even recently when she could no longer go in person, she had friends and family drop off items to them. One of her other passions was watching her favorite baseball team, the Astros. During the last two years when Charlene was not able to leave the house, Visiting Angels sent us Liz Steele, who not only cared for her but loved her and spent countless hours with and becoming a true angel to our family.
