John and Catherine Stuart passed away seven months apart, leaving behind a family forever bound by their love and memory. John passed away on July 30, 2025, and Catherine followed on February 5, 2026.

John Stuart was born on April 10, 1962.  Kate Stuart was born on February 13, 1969, to Ronald and Sandra (Stone) Masini.

John and Kate were united in marriage on February 14, 2005, beginning a life together rooted in devotion, family, and shared dreams.

John was known as an A-to-Z handyman—there was truly nothing he couldn’t fix. Kate found joy in life’s simple pleasures: watching birds, gardening, flowers, and music. She loved cooking shows, especially those by Rachael Ray, enjoyed dramatic television series, and took great pride in being a homemaker. Kate was a fabulous cook who always made time for her children and family.

John and Kate are survived by their daughters, Elizabeth and Racheal Stuart; John’s sons, Brian and Wayne Stuart; Kate’s parents, Ronald and Sandra; and her brother, Matt (Suzanne) Masini. As we say goodbye to John and Kate, we remember not only the sorrow of their passing, but also the love, laughter, and joy they brought into the lives of all who knew them. Their memory will live on forever in our hearts.

A Celebration of Life honoring John and Kate will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial remembrances to St. Jude Children’s Research https://www.stjude.org/  would be appreciated.
