She had previously been the Area Manager for BLM in Ridgecrest, CA. After retiring from the government she continued working as a tax consultant for H&R Block, and enjoyed cultivating her rose garden. She died on January 31 2002 . Patty's life was characterized by leadership and battles. She overcame open heart surgery at age 14 that cured the problems dominating her childhood. She was a leader of student Government at George Mason. As a manager in the Federal Government, she fought for the rights of female employees to have equal footing with their male counterparts, and was equally dedicated to conservation and environmental preservation.

She was a loyal and caring friend, with an open and giving personality that always saw the good side in people and events. She is survived by her mother, Mary Kay McLean of Albuquerque, her brother Bert A. McLean of Laytonsville, MD, and her sister Gloria Helen McLean-Hiratsuka of New York City, NY.

Roy ended his 22 year military career at Kirtland AFB as a member of BIG CROW. Roy honorably retired from the Army in 1980.

Mr. Stewart also retired from the NM State Physical Science Laboratory in 1993. He was most recently employed with Transcore.

He will be sorely missed.

Please earmark any contributions for that purpose and mail to 2011 Girard SE, Albuquerque, NM 87106.

Roy had a big heart and did many good deeds for many people. He was a volunteer at the VA Hospital with over 770 hours spent bringing joy to the patients. The family deeply appreciates the visits, cards and phone calls throughout this difficult time.
