Pandora Cicily Stewart, age 4, gained her heavenly wings on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
She was born on October 17, 2021, in Asheville, North Carolina, to Joseph Stewart and Sophie Porter.
Pandora was full of life and loved everyone around her. To her, there was no such thing as a stranger, she would happily serenade anyone she met and made sure to say “hi” to everyone she passed. She loved to sing, dance, act silly, and make the craziest faces. Pandora had recently started gymnastics and absolutely loved it. Fearless by nature, she was fascinated with the world around her and especially loved all the bugs she would find.
Pandora was deeply loved by all who knew her and will be truly missed. Her open heart and unconditional love for others is a rare and beautiful quality, one we can all strive to carry with us in our own lives.
She is survived by her loving parents, Joseph Stewart and Sophie Porter; her grandparents, Davetta Sanford, William Porter III, Sarah Landewee, and Anthony Stewart; along with several aunts and uncles who cherished her dearly.
A private family service will be held under the direction of Pendergrass Funeral Home.
Gifts, cards, and letters, if desired, may be delivered or mailed to the funeral home and will be forwarded to the family.
