Stella Marie Ferguson, a beloved member of her family and community, passed away on March 5, 2026, in Greencastle, Indiana. Born on January 26, 1964, in Beech Grove, Indiana, Stella lived a life characterized by warmth, kindness, and a deep love for those around her.

Stella was known for her sweet and caring nature, always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She was the type of person who would give the shirt off her back to support others. Her spirit of generosity extended to every aspect of her life, making her a cherished friend and family member.

Stella had a profound appreciation for family and treasured the moments spent with her son, Steven Ferguson, and daughter-in-law Rachel. She often spoke fondly of her family, celebrating the bonds that connected them. Stella also embraced the joy of family gatherings and took pride in her role as an aunt to several nieces and nephews, who held her close to their hearts.

In her leisure time, Stella found joy in simple pleasures. She loved watching family-friendly shows, particularly those on the Hallmark Channel, including "Christmas in July," which brought her great joy. Additionally, her fondness for classic series like "Little House on the Prairie" and "The Golden Girls" perfectly complemented her compassionate personality. Festivals and fairs were also among her interests, where she enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and shared experiences with loved ones.

Stella’s life was enriched by the beauty of nature, and she often spent peaceful moments observing its wonders. Her nurturing spirit and ability to connect with others created lasting memories, leaving a legacy of love and kindness.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Eugene and Sarabell Waterman; her sisters, Edith and Treva; and her brothers, Duncan and Little Eugene. Their guidance undoubtedly shaped the loving individual she became, and they will be lovingly remembered alongside her.

As we reflect on Stella Marie Ferguson's life, we remember a woman whose heart was as vast as the sky, filled with compassion for all. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but her spirit will live on in the memories and lives she touched.
