BEATTY -- Marcella E. Beatty passed away peacefully at her home in Albuquerque, NM on Sunday, January 16, 2005. She was born April 18, 1918, in Montrose, MO and grew up in Tulsa, OK. She earned an RN degree from Oklahoma University and a B.S. in Education from San Francisco College for Women, working her way through school as a surgical nurse at Children's Hospital in San Francisco, CA. She later joined the teaching faculty of Mount Zion Hospital in San Francisco. While working at Children's Hospital, she met the love of her life, a young resident named Ralph R. Beatty, M. D. It nonetheless required seven years of courting for him to pry her away from her career. They were married on September 17, 1950. Marcella brought the same care and verve to marriage and motherhood that she had given to her nursing and teaching careers. She had a talent for making patients, friends, and strangers feel at home, and she loved hosting memorable parties. Her gift of friendship enriched her life with friends both old and new. During the years her family lived in Kansas City, MO (1952-72), Kerrville, TX (1972-74), Salisbury, NC (1975-80), and Albuquerque, NM (1980-2005), she was actively engaged in educational and charitable work through local church, school, and neighborhood associations, as well as the American Association of University Women (AAUW). In recent years, she was a passionate supporter of the Sunbonnet Shop at First Presbyterian Church and the Martineztown House of Neighborly Service. Her unquenchable optimism, humor, and grit were an inspiration to all who were warmed by her deep caring, or lifted by her sparkle. Everyone who knew her relied upon her abiding faith and her talent for prayer. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph R. Beatty, M.D., and her brother, Joseph W. Palmer, both of Albuquerque. She is survived by her daughter, Victoria Beatty, of Tsaile, AZ (husband Stuart Heady); her sister Linda Bunch, of San Diego, CA (husband Phil); her sisters-in-law Helene Palmer, of Angel Fire, NM and Helen Abegglen, of Surprise, AZ (husband Carl); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.

STEWART -- Alexander T., Reverend "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." -Jeremiah 3:15 Alexander Rose Taylor Stewart passed away January 15, 2005 after a brief illness. Born in Glasgow, Scotland December 31, 1922 and raised in Detroit, MI, Reverend Stewart, a 32nd degree Mason with the Scottish Rite of the Bay County Consistory, a World War Two Veteran, received his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Wayne State University, Detroit, MI. After working for the Ford Motor Company he was called to the priesthood. He was ordained at age 35, after studying at the Michigan Diocesan School of Theology. While assisting at St. Johns Episcopal Church in Midland, MI he was asked by the Bishop to begin a parish in Clarkston. Establishing the Episcopal Church of The Resurrection, he enriched the spiritual and personal lives of his parishioners and served in many community organizations. During his faithful service to the Lord, Reverend Stewart and his wife, Edith adopted four children and later were blessed with one of their own. When people reflect on Reverend Stewart's ministry, many thoughts come to mind. What is most apparent, however, is that he lived out the example set by Christ when He walked the Earth. Countless people realized Christ's example through Reverend Stewart. Their success is one of his greatest achievements. Upon Reverend Stewart's retirement in 1987, he was recognized by the Michigan State Legislature House Resolution No. 379 for his service to the community and his ministry to God's people. Reverend Stewart was preceded in death by daughter, Eileen and parents, William and Margaret. He is survived by his wife, Edith; his children, Phyllis, David, Bruce, and Joan; and seven grandchildren. In life Alex enjoyed, among other things, golf, fishing, playing the piano, and the seemingly endless game of Pinochle and Cribbage. In his passing, the Lord will enjoy him. While never a resident of New Mexico, he enjoyed his visits to the Land of Enchantment and attending services at St. John's Cathedral downtown. Well done, Alex, thy faithful servant.
