She received her B.S. degree in Education from Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas, her Certification in School Libraries from the University of Texas, in Austin, and her Masters in Library Science from Kent State University, in Kent, Ohio.

She is active in the St. Simons Presbyterian Church, where she has served as an Elder and Clerk of Session, and the Glynn County Democratic Party, where she has held various posts on the Executive Board.
Says Stewart: Our state government is in danger of losing its ability to pay for basic services such as adequate schools, teachers, police and prisons," Stewart said. "My experience in both education and governmental financing at a practical level, as well as my maturity and judgment, has provided me with skills that are needed to serve the people of my district and state.
