Elmer "Peewee" Stewart

Elmer “Peewee” Wallace Stewart, 81, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Tuesday, December 9, 2025. He was born on December 30, 1943, to the late Wilmer and Mary George Stewart in Stokes County, NC. Peewee will be remembered for his hardworking nature. He worked for the city of Winston-Salem as an equipment operator and was proud of his work. Peewee was never still and was always tinkering with a new project on his free time. He enjoyed taking rides on his motorcycle, often getting into trouble. Peewee was a daredevil at heart and was always up to something. More than anything, he shared an immense love for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a family man and would do anything for them. He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a sister, Betty Jean Mays; a brother, Larry Lee Stewart; and a niece Diane Sutherland.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, with whom he shared 61 years, Martha Lawson Stewart; two sons, Junior Stewart and Ricky Stewart Sr.; two grandchildren Ricky Stewart Jr. and Tabitha Stewart; four great-grandchildren, Dyson Stewart, Emery Gray, Easton Leonard, and Emberlyn Leonard; four siblings Frances Thomas, Brenda Sutherland, Mike Stewart, and Dawn Hatcher; as well as numerous other extended family members.
