Helping Families and Friends Honor Their Loved One

Julie Michelle (Stewart) Watson, age 49, of Alexander, Arkansas went to be with the Lord on January 16, 2026. Julie was born in Conroe, Texas to Jack and Jean Stewart.

Julie touched the lives of everyone who knew her. Her selflessness, warmth, and generous spirit will be remembered forever. She loved creating beautiful wreaths and crafts for friends and family. She was also a great advocate for animals. Her furbabies were all shelter rescues.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and compassion that lives on in all of us who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by her father Jack Stewart.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her husband Matt Watson; her mother Jean Adams; step-mother Charlotte Stewart; brothers Jack, Joe, and Jason; sisters Vallarie, Ashley, and Leah; along with 15 nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, we encourage you to honor her by giving a donation to an Animal Rescue of your choice.

A celebration of life will follow at a later date.
