Mary Lou Stahura

Mary Lou (Yacko) Stahura, 68, Fishers, completed her life Sunday, October 18, 2009 at home, after a long, courageous battle with ovarian cancer. She was born April 27, 1941 in Youngstown, Ohio to Michael and Elizabeth (Popson) Yacko.
Mary Lou retired in 2002 after 20 years as a registered nurse and a respiratory therapy nurse at Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie. She was a member of St. Thomas Catholic Church in Fortville.
She is survived by her husband, Dan Stahura of Fishers; daughter, Denise (Dave) Pomeroy of Franklin, TN; son, Michael Cantanzarite of Yorktown, IN; daughter, Linda (Kevin) Lauthern of Mt. Juliet, TN; brother, Michael (Elizabeth) Yacko of Medina, OH; three grandsons, Dominic Cantanzarite, Jon Lauthern & Jarred Lauthern; several nieces & nephews; and many wonderful friends with whom she had great times and memories.
Her very special grandson (Dominic) helped his 'Ma' through her illness with his cute personality, loving smile and caring ways. Dominic's companionship brought many hours of happiness through the stormy times.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by a brother, Tom Yacko.
Our sincere and heartfelt thanks goes to Dr. Gary Ayres, Dr. Michael Callahan, Dr. Georgiann Linnemeier, Dr. Kelly Manaha and the nurses! Your thoughtfulness and care will always be remembered!
