Kay Ann was born on May 25, 1939, in Sumner, Iowa to David and Leota (Carlson) Granneman. Much of her childhood she was raised by her grandparents, Frank and Zona Lang. Kay graduated from Sumner High School and later was married to Carl Stewart on September 23, 1956, in Sumner. She and Carl owned and operated the Cedar Crest Motel for 15 years in Charles City, Iowa. Kay then worked for 13 years with Charles City Aeronautics before the couple moved to Faribault in 1983. After working for two years at Farmer Seed and Nursery, she worked for about 11 years with Heine Insurance Agency until her retirement. Carl preceded her in death on February 8, 2004.

Volunteerism was of great importance to Kay. She dedicated herself to her involvement at First English Lutheran Church, Faribault Senior Center, The Clothes Closet, and was a member of the Board at Cardinal Pointe. Kay loved to play the organ and consistently provided music every Thursday at Pleasant Manor Nursing Home. Her volunteerism was recognized by the Faribault Daily News as an Unsung Hero, making her community a better place to live.

She is survived by her son, Terry (Linda) Stewart of Charles City, Iowa; two granddaughters, Holly (Ryan) Wright of Laporte, MN, and Amanda Stewart (partner, Melissa Boyson) of Harwood Heights, IL; two great grandchildren, Hunter and Tatiana Wright; sister, Karen Plum (and Glenn) of Waterloo, Iowa; brother, Frank Adams of Waterloo; and other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Carl; son, Dale Stewart; mother, Leota Adams and step-father, Erwin Adams; father, David Granneman; and grandparents, Frank and Zona Lang.
