Katie Mae Stuart, 90 of Copper Hill, went Home to be with the Lord on Monday, March 4, 2019 in Garner, North Carolina. She was born on January 9, 1929 to the late Lewis Jacob and Sophia Banks Stuart. She is preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, Matthew A. Stuart who passed away on December 7, 1994; two sons, Paul A. Stuart and Mark A. Stuart (infant); ten brothers; and two sisters, including her beloved sister, Irma Jean Walker Hanson.

She enjoyed trying new recipes, reading, and gardening. She will be remembered for her sense of humor. She attended Harris-Hart School.

Katie joined Little River Missionary Baptist Church at age 13, a church family which she loved, serving in many capacities including Senior Choir, Board of Trustees, Treasurer of the Building Fund, and the Willing Workers Club.
