(Creston, Iowa) — Students at Southwestern Community College (SWCC) held a memorial vigil Tuesday night, to honor the life of Madalynn Stewart, of Maloy. The community gathered at the gymnasium in the student center to share memories of Stewart. The 19-year-old was on the school’s women’s basketball and dance teams.

Stewart died Sunday from injuries she suffered July 21st in a Union County crash. According to the Iowa State Patrol, a car driven by Stewart, failed to stop at a stop sign when it entered Highway 34 from 190th Street in Afton around 10:30 that night. The car was struck by a pickup truck, and both vehicles went into a ditch.

Stewart is the third 19-year-old to die as a result of the crash. Halsie Lynn Barnes and Ella Jo Leonard died as a result of the crash. People gathered on July 25 to honor their lives during a candlelight service. Clergy and counselors were also on-hand.
