Annie Stewart, 100, was honored recently by Istrouma Baptist Church as its last surviving founder.

Annie Stewart was a teen-ager when Istrouma Baptist Church began in 1920. She literally saw it start from member No. 1.

"It was born in my living room. My father was the one who went around and brought people to join the new church," she said.

"Miss Annie," who recently turned 100 years old, was honored by the church earlier this month as its last surviving founder.

She lives in St. James Place Nursing Home where she was among the first residents in 1983.

"I always said they built St. James for me," she said "used to drive out here when there was nothing here but a mud hole."

Stewart was not always a happy member of the new church. "Oh, I was a nasty teen-ager, you know. I was going to First Baptist Church then and that's where all my friends were," she said. "My father and the others started that new church and told me to join it and leave all my friends and I said, "Uh uh!" But sooner or later, I came around.

"I grew up believing you're supposed to go to church all the time," she said, "so I always was at church someplace."

A wheelchair user for three years, Stewart attends worship and Bible study at St. James Place.

Donna Randis, the recreation programs manager at St. James Place, said, "Miss Annie participated in all the spiritual groups (St. James) has."

The lively lady does not stop there. She participates in exercise programs to keep her as fit physically as she is spiritually.

Randis said, "Miss Annie never complains, She always has a positive, upbeat attitude. She has a sharp sense of humor and she giggles readily.

"Whenever she laughs, she bounces up and down in her chair because she laughs with her whole self. She's a classic example of everything it's said that keeps a person going," Randis said.

Stewart loves to read. She reads everything she can find and always has a book with her.

The 1926 LSU alumna taught English at Istrouma High School for 46 years. She taught the fourth grade Sunday school class "for longer than I can remember," she said.

Until recently, she was strong and active and enjoyed weekly volunteer work for her church of 50 years, as well as daily work, weather permitting, maintaining the grounds and plantings of her Morning Glory Avenue home. She was born in 1902, second among eight children, at the Darlington farm of her parents, William P. Matthews, a prominent planter and longtime president of St. Helen Parish Police Jury, and the former Blanche Freeman of Hickory Hill Plantation, Wilson. She married Julius Yunkes of Bayou Sara in 1921 and they had been married 59 years when he died in 1981. She was a graduate of Silliman Academy and LSU, where she obtained a master's degree in education, her chosen career. She began teaching in St. Francisville and then went on to teach for more than 50 years in Baton Rouge schools, where she had the pleasure of seeing hundreds of her students go on to positions of leadership in the community. She received many honors during her career, including "Outstanding Teacher in the Parish" in 1965 to 1966, and she was elected president of each of her several teachers associations. Her lifelong interest in student sports, especially football, included a stint as the first football coach at Magnolia School and the awarding of an "honorary coach" team jacket at Istrouma High School. She was attended at her death and during her final days by loving family members, and they report that her passing was a painless and peaceful one. She was predeceased by a daughter, Marion Y. Donnelly of St. Petersburg, Fla., as well as five of her seven siblings. She is survived by her daughter, Joyce Y. Speck, Dallas; eight grandchildren, F. Paul Naquin, SuEllen N. Hull, Nancy N.
