Everywhere Barbara went she was known as a classy lady and was dubbed "Platinum Woman" after one of her sermons. She loved to dress in Black & White but every color of the rainbow looked stylish on her. Her hat and purse coordination was legendary, only dwarfed by her desire to share and bless others with her fashions with no expectation of anything in return. To her legacy, Barbara leaves those remaining to cherish her memory include her loving husband of 46 years Thaddeus Steward, a son Phillip (Kelly/wife) Steward and two daughters Angel Steward and Diana Steward. Her father Bishop Frank T. Stephens Sr. (Lady Elect Shirley Stephens/wife). Siblings, Evangelist Rita Butler (Bishop Roosevelt Butler/husband) of PA, Joseph Stephens of NJ, Yvonne Golden of Washington DC, Vincent Washington Sr (Janice Washington/wife) of GA, Frank Stephens II [deceased] (Janie Stephens/wife) and Lorenzo Holmes [deceased] of Detroit, MI. Her grandchildren include Isaiah Burton, Maxwell Steward, Nadia Steward and Elijah Blackmon. She is also loved by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, & extended family, friends and more.
