Narrative
The only marriage record I've found so far for John is to Betty Louise Steffey (b. 7 Nov 1929) in 1950; he's buried, however, with M. Elaine Steffey (b. 4 Feb 1927, d. 14 Dec 2005). Elaine's brief obituary from the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel issue of 16 Dec 2005 (and posted to the FindaGrave.com website) names her the widow of John Stuerzenberger and goes on to name her surviving children (five sons and two daughters). No surnames are given for the sons, suggesting they bear the same Stuerzenberger surname and are therefore the children of John and Elaine, and not hers from a previous marriage. Whether John and Betty divorced or whether she died young - or whether the named surviving children are actually Elaine's step-children - are all possibilities, but I can not confirm which might be the case at this time.
ADDENDUM: Per an email (17 Sep 2017) from Cynthia Roseberry, Margaret Elaine was first married to William Arthur Roseberry, and had four sons; she and William divorced, and she remarried to Jack after he and his first wife (Betty) had divorced. Jack and Elaine had a son and two daughters.
