Stephanie L. Macus, 65, of Fayetteville, PA transitioned to a new life on January 26, 2012, after a brief and courageous battle with lung cancer. She spent her final moments at home surrounded by family and friends. Born July 9, 1946 in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of Mary Bandick Lenart and John G. Lenart. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by a brother, John E. Lenart.

Stephanie was a graduate of West Mifflin North High School and The Pennsylvania State University. She retired from both Carnegie Natural Gas Company and Equitable Resources, Pittsburgh. She loved being a grandmother to her five young grandchildren and enjoyed nurturing each one of them. She enjoyed retirement, reading, laughing, golfing, and having a drink with friends and family. Stephanie’s love of people and her infectious laugh made her a joy to be around.
