Honoring the Legacy of Girtie Lee Stewart

Portrait of Girtie Lee Stewart, beloved family matriarch and founder of our homecoming tradition
Stewart-Wilson Family Crest

The Beginning of a Tradition

Joseph and Girtie Lee Wilson-Stewart established the foundation of our family's enduring legacy. The homecoming is the beginning of this new tradition, honoring their unwavering commitment to family, their strength of character, and their deep roots in Mississippi that have inspired generations of our family.

Born and raised in Jefferson County Mississippi, Girtie Lee Stewart was known for her wisdom, hospitality, and ability to bring family together across distances. She believed that regular family gatherings were essential to maintaining our connections and passing down our shared history and values.

This annual homecoming is our way of honoring their legacy and fulfilling their wish that the family would always remain connected to each other and to our ancestral home in Mississippi.

"Family is like branches on a tree. We may grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one." — A favorite saying of Girtie Lee Stewart

Each year, we will gather to celebrate our heritage, share stories, and create new memories together. The 2025 homecoming at Field & Forest in Natchez marks a special return to the place where our family story began.
