Louise Stewart Berry, age 96, passed away Saturday, November 6, 2021 in Wilmington, NC.

Louise was born in Nashville, Tennessee on March 12, 1925; daughter of the late Paul and Zelma Vaughn Stewart.

As a child of the Depression, Louise was raised to value honesty and hard work. As the wife of a construction worker, she often spoke of moving seventeen times in nineteen years. She retired as a Contract Specialist from the Defense General Supply Center in Richmond, Virginia.

She was the widow of James Donald Berry (J.D.) who preceded her in death on November 24, 2004. In addition to her aforementioned parents, Louise was also preceded in death by brother William McDonald Stewart, daughter Donna Berry Kenney, and infant grandson Brian Stephen Cribbs.

The family would like to thank the staff of Breakers at the Davis Health Care Center for the kind and compassionate care Louise received.
