An artist and a humanist
The memorial service was packed - but then, so was the life of the woman being honored.

Mourners assembled this weekend to pay tribute to Martha Stewart, Utah poet and proud liberal activist, who died just before the new year at the age of 93.

In her column today, Rebecca Walsh captures the service and something of Stewart's spark.

I'm proud to say I knew Martha Stewart. For a time, one of my cousins dated one of her sons -- which was enough to grant me honorary-relative status, and one visit to the Stewart family reunion over Fourth of July weekend on the family's campsite above the Sundance resort. (The Stewarts sold the land to Robert Redford that became Sundance.)

Martha was a great talker, a strong thinker, and funny as all get out. She also was a fan of my movie reviews. I'll miss her greatly.
