LINCOLN — This week's column carries a notice for one obituary of a Lincoln resident, published by Concord Funeral Home & Cremation Service (via Legacy.com) and confirmed by Echovita: Elizabeth Gunther Stewart, M.D.
Elizabeth Gunther Stewart, M.D. [also rendered "Elizabeth Gunter Stewart" in one Legacy.com listing page; Echovita and the Legacy.com obituary text use "Gunther"], 83, of Lincoln, died Wednesday from complications of metastatic breast cancer. [Echovita lists the date of death as August 20, 2026; the discrepancy with "Wednesday" as reported by the funeral home source is noted here rather than resolved.] Her obituary describes her as "a pioneer in women's health," noting that she delivered thousands of babies over the course of her career. Service information was not detailed in the sources reviewed this week.
