Patti was born in 1944 in Houston, Texas to Frank and Pauline (Fuller) Connolly. Married Ken Stewart, in Houston Texas, in 1965, where he was stationed in the Navy. Her marriage brought her to Michigan, where she raised her family with love, music, and Mama Lou’s fried chicken.
Her Christmas Pralines and Sour Cream Poundcake were legendary. She raised a family that loved music, family traditions, and family vacations back to Texas or to Barbershop music conventions. She regularly supported the Capuchin Ministry in Detroit and visiting nursing homes. Her joys were game nights, popcorn movie nights, and visiting with her grandchildren.
Patti is survived by her four children Kim (Jim) McCord, Kathleen Frantz, Therese Stewart, and Kevin (Alysia) Stewart; five grandchildren Kyle, Korynn, Clare, Kierra, and Finn; two sisters Wilma Widaski and Sheila (Warren) Sproul.
Memorial Services will be held at a later date when family and friends can gather personally. In lieu of flowers, the family has suggested donations to the Capuchin Franciscan Province of St. Joseph Ministries.
