His loves include: his God, his wife, and his country. In 2020, Stewart was preceded in death by his wife of 42 years, Marion.

Marion attended LCC to become a nurse. She worked most of her career at Lansing General, Pennsylvania Campus, until her retirement. She met and married C. Stewart Fettes in December 1978. She always maintained her standards of the work ethic and appearance of a nurse. Co-workers referred to her as the “HAT.” Long after the day of nurses dressed all in white and wearing hats, she always wore hers. After retirement she enjoyed sewing and gardening, and traveling the state with her beloved husband, “Stew.”
They are survived by daughter Karin (Phillip) Kenewell of Gregory; son, Ronald (Lisa) Lindquist of Gregory; 5 grandchildren, Ryan (Juliet) Lindquist, Joshua Watko of Manchester, Jessica Lindquist of Battle Creek, Jamie Lindquist of Gregory, and Jeffrey Watko of Gregory; 3 great-grandsons, Michael, Tyler, and Liam, all of Gregory; Marion’s brother, Ronald (Julie) Lube of Omaha, NE; nephew, Matthew (Lily) Lube of Omaha, NE; and other extended family members and friends.
A private burial will be held for Stewart and Marion at a future date at Fort Custer National Cemetery, Augusta, MI. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to South Church, or to McLaren Hospice and Homecare. Arrangements are by the Estes-Leadley Greater Lansing Chapel.

April 5, 2020 at 6:36 amI was a co-worker with Marion at Lansing General. She was a good nurse & in my opinion, a lady who had class. I send my condolences to the family.

November 19, 2023 at 4:21 pmMy memory of Mr. Fettes is from South Church when he gave me a round wooden “TUIT”. I came across it this morning and remembered our little chats ending with “getting around to it (TUIT)”. He was always friendly and kind.
