Dacia Ann (Stewart) Stewart

Dacia Ann Stewart, 30, of Williamsport, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, July 22, 2020, at her residence. She was born in Williamsport on Nov. 6, 1989, to Maxx Stoyanoff-Williams and Belva Stewart.
Dacia was a member of Bethel AME Church of Williamsport. In high school, Dacia was a popular student and loved her friends. She was known most for her school spirit and her love and dedication to cheerleading. In addition to the four years she cheered for Williamsport Area High School, she also served three years as a coach and mentor for a Pop Warner cheerleading squad.
Dacia's love for travel and adventure took her many places. One of the trips she cherished most was a tour of Europe along with her father and grandmother. There she fulfilled her lifelong dream of visiting "The City of Lights," Paris, France.
Dacia showed care, concern and support for fundamental causes that helped her community. She was generous with her time and talent and participated in multiple events. Annually, she would participate in the Ovarian Cancer Foundation Walk/Run to raise money to find a cure. Locally, she worked several years for the Williamsport Recreation Summer Program as a camp counselor. Most of all she loved the work she did for her family. She was a dedicated Stewart Reunion committee member and served as the social media liaison. In that position, she kept the family informed and connected.
Dacia was a loving and nurturing mother who enjoyed spending time with her daughter, Zailah.
