Steward Samuel Jordan

Steward Samuel Jordan, 90, of Bridgewater, passed away on Wednesday, July 19, 2023 at his home. Born December 28, 1932 in Mount Jackson, he was the son of the late Joseph and Naomi (Crickenberger) Jordan. As a young boy, Stu longed to fly and fulfilled that dream by proudly serving his country in the United States Air Force for 20 years. He retired having achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Following his military retirement, Stu graduated from Madison College (currently James Madison University) with a degree in Political Science. He also worked many years for the United States Postal Service.

Stu was united in marriage on January 29, 1955 to the love of his life, Wanda Wean Jordan, who preceded him in death. In addition to his wife and parents, he was preceded in death by one brother, John Jordan, and one sister, Barbara Paul.

Stu is survived by four children, Robin (Tom) Miller, of Roanoke, Jo Ellen (Donnie) Bowman, of Bridgewater, Lisa (David) Shickel, of Montezuma and Stuart (Kim) Jordan, of Richmond. He is also survived by seven grandchildren, Hunter Miller, Daniel (Libby) Bowman, Bryce (Kelly) Miller, Turner Jordan, Molly Shickel, Emma Jordan, Sam Shickel and, one great-grandchild on the way.
