Ms. Latoya Renee Stewart, 37, passed away peacefully on December 13, 2025. She was born on August 17, 1988. Latoya attended Southwest High School, where she was an active cheerleader and graduated in 2006.

She grew up as a curious and sweet girl, the apple of her mother’s eye. Latoya loved the color pink, enjoyed shopping, enjoyed the beach, and had a fond love of music. One of her favorite artists was Mariah Carey, and her favorite song was “Black Butterfly” by Denise William.

She was preceded in death by her father, Lamont Armstrong, along with her maternal and paternal grandparents.

She is survived by her mother, Sandra Stewart, of the home; her special friend, Zolta Howie; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

We take comfort in knowing she is now resting in the arms of the Lord, where peace and joy are eternal. Until we meet again, Latoya, your spirit rides with us.

Latoya will always and forever have a special place in my heart. Love Mom
