Virginian-Pilot January 21, 2021
Meredith Stewart Ferebee, daughter of the late Anne Stone Stewart and Harry A. 
Stewart, sister of the late Barbara Preston Eckert and widow of John T. Ferebee, 
Sr. and beloved mother of her four children, John Terrell Ferebee, Harry Stewart 
Ferebee, Anne Brandon Ferebee, Christopher Swingley Ferebee and daughter-in-law 
Lindsey (Rowe) Ferebee, passed away peacefully in her home at the age of 90, 
surrounded by her loving family on Dec. 23, 2020. Meredith was born in Buchanan, 
VA, on Aug. 30, 1931, to two loving parents (her father a first-generation 
Scotsman) who were teachers with a deep love of nature and literature. All her 
life, Meredith was an avid reader and lover of books. After attending Mary 
Washington College for a year, she transferred to William & Mary and graduated 
in 1952. Thereafter, she worked towards a Masters Degree at the University of 
Minnesota. She went on to teach elementary school in Portsmouth, VA for six 
years before meeting the love of her life, John T. Ferebee, Sr. They married in 
1958 and had four children. She was a devoted, loving wife and mother who loved 
literature and art and instilled that love in her children. She was also a poet 
and writer in her own right, having poems published locally and nationally. Over 
the years she participated in her church Christmas choral and the altar guild, 
which she enjoyed very much. Her husband and children were her life's work and 
true joy. A private family service will be held at Elmwood Cemetery in Norfolk, 
VA. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you send a donation to St. Jude 
Children's Research Hospital.
