June 13, 1947 — October 9, 2010

On October 9, 2010, Mary Lou Stiltner gave up her long and courageous battle with cancer to be at peace with the Lord.

Mary was the daughter of the late John Morgan Sykes, Jr. and Eunice Coleman Keene Sykes. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Jessie James Stiltner; her brother, Harold Sykes; and her nephew, Christopher Sykes Estep.

Survivors include her brother, Russell Sykes and wife Sandy; sister Della Sykes Estep and Jimmy Marcum; nephews: Shannon Sykes and family, Rusty Sykes and family, Michael Sykes and Travis Sykes; and her two loving companions, Bud and Bobtail.

A graveside service for Mary Lou Stiltner will be held at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 13, 2010, at Forest Hills Memory Gardens, 19415 Lee Highway, Abingdon, with Paul Price officiating.

The family wishes to thank Heritage Hall of Grundy; Dr. Mark Davis and his nurses, especially Mary and Pam; the staff of JMH Cancer Center; and caregivers Pamela Long, Rebecca Lunsford, Patricia Haley, and Kim Matney, who loved and enjoyed working with Mary Lou over the years.
