Dorothy Elizabeth Stevens Stewart passed away peacefully on August 22, 2025, at the age of 92. She was born August 9, 1933, into a ranching family in Millersview, Texas. Dorothy was raised on her family's ranch and attended school in Millersview. She graduated from high school in San Angelo, Texas, and soon after married Philip Franklin Drake, Sr. Together they had one son, Philip Franklin Drake, Jr. Dorothy later married Steve Stewart of San Angelo.
She had a passion for cooking, entertaining, traveling and spending time with her friends. Her greatest joy came from being with her family on the ranch.
A devoted Christian, Dorothy loved the Lord and was a longtime member of the Episcopal Church, where she had served faithfully on the Altar Guild. She was also a member of St. Catherine's Guild for many years.
Dorothy is survived by her son, Phil Drake and daughter-in-law Jan, granddaughter Sunny Pietsch and husband Ryan of Austin, Texas, and great-grandchildren Blake, Samantha and William Pietsch.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Curtis and Myrt Stevens, Philip F. Drake, Sr., Steve Stewart, and her aunt Sally Whitfield and many other beloved aunts, uncles and cousins.
The family would like to thank the staff at Brayden Park Assisted Living and Memory Care for the excellent care they gave her and loving her as their own. We also want to thank the nurses and aides at High Plains Hospice for their compassion, care and love for her. Dorothy will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
There will be a private family graveside service.
