June Marie Stewart (nee Colegrove) 90, of St. Louis, Mo., passed away peacefully April 13, 2020 with her sons by her side. June was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years Morris L. Stewart, her brother Earl Colegrove, Jr. and parents Earl and Kathleen Colegrove. June is survived by her brother Sgt. Joseph W. Colegrove (University City Police, ret.), her sons Thomas L. Stewart and Kelly B. Stewart, daughters-in-law Laura (nee Nangle) and Angela (nee Biermann), niece Julie Oglesby (Hundelt), grandchildren Jacqueline and Lucy (Caroline Zarenelli, mother), Lauren and Kollin (Penny Stewart, mother), Harper, Campbell, Ella Rose, and numerous other nieces and nephews. June was the life of every party; she was a gifted storyteller, loved sharing a glass of wine with friends, and was an amazing dancer from her days at the old Casa Loma Ballroom. June was blessed with wonderful friends all her life especially her “card club” group and the treasured 70-year friendship of Doris Dresner of St. Louis. June was a voracious reader and avid movie goer, but her most cherished gift and joy was laughter. “We had the best time!” she would say of a gathering, “we just laughed and laughed”. A celebration of June’s life will take place this fall. In lieu of flowers, donations can now be made in June’s name to St. Louis County Library-Foundation, 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63131-Attn: Jackie Hamilton or online at foundation.slcl.org/make-a-gift/
Mrs. Stewart, May you rest in the arms of the Almighty. God Bless you.

I will remember her contagious laugh and keen sense of humor. She lived a long life and will be missed. Rest in peace June.
Deepest sympathy. I will remember her as a very kind person.
My condolences for your loss at this especially difficult time.
June was a great friend and always fun to be with. We will all miss her terribly.
I feel very blessed to have been called June’s friend. I will miss our card games, casino trips, lunches, and get togethers. Most of all I will miss her contagious laughter and smile. She has left a huge empty spot in my heart. Love you June. Rest in peace.
So sorry to hear of June’s passing. She was a wonderful neighbor and we will miss her and her sense of humor.
Met Mrs Mrs Stewart 54 years ago at the age of 14 as I was her son Kelly’s best friend or one of them for many years, Kelly. I always thought the world of her & thought she was a sweet lady. Definitely dont make them like her anymore & her laugh was definitely infectious. It’s been many years since I have seen Mrs. Stewart, but was so sorry to hear of her passing, but glad to know she will be reunited with her husband Morris & her parents. My sympathy also pours out to the family for their loss & may Mrs Stewart R.I.P. in heaven.
God Bless – Ken Chitwood
