Dorothy Carlson Stewart passed away on May 12, 2025, after a year in
comfortable hospice care in Saint Paul, MN surrounded by her loving
family. Born on July 11, 1941, in New Britain, Connecticut, Dottie
attended Mount Holyoke College and went on to earn her master's degree
from Case Western Reserve School of Applied Social Sciences, where she
met James Brewer Stewart. She shared a life of love and partnership
with him for 60 years. They made their home in the
Macalester-Groveland neighborhood on Princeton, residing in a
beautifully restored 200-year-old house filled with cherished antiques
and surrounded by her delightful perennial flower gardens. She spent
summers at the cabin on Crystal Lake, gardening, reading, solving NYT
crosswords in pen, and hosting family in creating lasting memories
with friends, children and grandchildren.

Dorothy is lovingly remembered by her daughters, Rebecca Stewart and
Jennifer Stewart; her son-in-law, David Holm; and her grandsons, Bjorn
Holm (Emma McHenry), Severin Holm, and Oskar Holm. She is also
survived by her brother, Richard Carlson, and his wife Dorothy; nieces
Cathy (Rogério Vasconcelos), grand-nephews Victor and Felipe
Vasconcelos, Ruth Carlson, and nephew Robert Carlson. Her legacy of
"arms all around" continues through the lives of those she held dear.

After researching her family genealogy, learning how to speak Swedish
and traveling to the birthplaces of her ancestors to meet their
descendants, Dorothy maintained strong ties with extended family in
Sweden. In Strandtorp, Pär and Stina Åberg; Maria Åberg (Anders
Landgren), Elsie and Olivia; Mikael (Maria Åberg), Åsa Wäbring
(daughters Anna, Sara, Emma, Lina). In Foglabäck Eleanor, Christer and
Olle Lobäcken.

Dorothy's life was marked by enduring family bonds that spanned
generations and continents. Her memory will be cherished by all who
knew her. She will be laid to rest with Jim in late June at Acacia
Cemetery with a small family graveside gathering. In lieu of flowers,
the family suggests memorial contributions be made to the American
Swedish Institute at https://asimn.org/support/donate/ .
