CAROL HUGHES STEWART

LIBERTY — Carol Stewart passed away on May 26, 2025, at the age of 74.

Born in Liberty on March 26, 1951, to James and Lucille Clark Hughes, she was known for her love and devotion as a wife, mother and “Mimi.” Carol was the community friend. She was soft-spoken, dependable and present. She served her family relentlessly, as well as the people of her community. She truly was the hands and feet of Jesus.

Carol is survived by her only daughter, Tia Swafford and her husband, Brian Swafford; and her only grandchild, Reagan Lucy Swafford.

Carol was a member of Eastside Baptist Church. She was a 1973 graduate of Tennessee Temple. After a long tenure at West Point Stevens, from where she retired, she then went on to work at St. Jude Medical.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 43 years, Mr. Marion Stewart, as well as her parents.

Carol wore many hats in her family and in the community of Liberty that she loved so well. Her favorite title was that of “Mimi” to Reagan. She was committed to providing care to Reagan and supporting her in all of her passions. She was the epitome of what a “Mimi” should be. Carol also shared a special relationship with her son-in-law, Brian. She and Brian were not in-laws, they were friends and took care of each other. Carol was grateful for Brian and Brian her.

She had a servant’s heart. She humbly showed up for anyone in need of support, love or just an ear to listen. Carol was a dedicated friend to so many — too many to list here, but know that you are all remembered during this time as well. Serving others alongside her late husband was her favorite pastime. She will be missed by so many, but the family and friends who knew her best know she’s rejoicing with Marion, her Momma and Daddy, and with her Lord and Savior.

The family is grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this heartbreaking time. Carol’s death was untimely and unexpected, and all who loved her are appreciative of everyone who has reached out.

To honor Carol’s life and celebrate her homecoming, funeral services were held May 28 in the Liberty Mortuary chapel. She was laid to rest beside her husband and parents at Liberty Memorial Gardens.

Flowers will be accepted, or memorials can be made in Carol’s honor, to Eastside Baptist Church, 920 Anderson Drive, Liberty SC 29657.

Ron lived a remarkable life fueled by his deep love for family, friends and the joys that each day brought.

Born in Whitmire, he was a son of the late William Aaron and Iva Wilkinson Bolin.

Ronald, affectionately known as “Ron,” was a dedicated supervisor in the textile industry, spending many fulfilling years at Alice Manufacturing. His commitment to his work was matched only by his dedication to his family.

His spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew him. He was a man who embraced life, always ready with a smile, a kind word, or a hearty laugh, and his legacy will certainly carry on through his family and friends.
