Stewarts celebrate 70 years of marriage

Wedding day, 1952
Donna and Leon Stewart

Leon and Donna Stewart will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on September 5, 2022. They were married on September 5, 1952 in the Bride’s home church in Piedmont, Virginia. Their formula for a happy marriage has always included devotion to God first, and to each other second. This union has proven to be a blessing to so many people! During the course of their 70-year ministry, they have had the honor to visit every state and over 60 countries.
In 1990, after many years in church administrative work, they “retired” to Atmore to be near family. In retirement they were asked to pastor a church in the Pineview area, just north of Flomaton. They count their 12 years at Pineview as the most rewarding experience of their ministry. To celebrate this important milestone, there will be a celebration on Sunday, September 4, 2022, at the Pineview PH Church to honor the couple.
