Luba Komsiski, 93, of Indianapolis entered the life eternal on Thursday, February 18, 2016. Luba was born in Kyustendil, Bulgaria on February 10, 1923 to Peter and Jordanka Todoroff. She married the late Atanas Komsiski, DDS to whom she was married to for over 50 years and in August of 2003; Mr. Komsiski preceded her in death. Luba attended medical school in Erlangen, Germany and graduated after World War II. She immigrated to the United States with the help of Church World Services in 1952. Luba moved directly to Indianapolis, IN. She settled down and devoted herself full-time to motherhood. After her children were grown she worked for the Central Indiana Blood Bank. She was an active member during this time at both North United Methodist and St. Stephen Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox churches. Luba was a member of Women's circles and enjoyed bridge club, spending time with friends and neighbors. She never knew a stranger and always opened her home to new immigrants offering them encouragement. She also helped them find places to live and employment.

We take comfort in knowing that the gates of paradise are now open to her and that we shall see her again someday. She is preceded in death by her parents and husband.

Luba was a wonderful, kind and fun person. She always had her family as her top priority and exuded warmth to all who she interacted with. I had the privilege of spending many hours/nights at the Komsiski home on Marrison Place while growing up and she was always a joy.
Our sympathies to Jeanette, Peter, George and the rest of the family.

Jeanette, Peter, and George,
I was saddened to see the passing of your Mom. She, as your Father, instilled in each of you to strive to be the best person you could be and enjoy the beautiful world of music. I am positive that your parents are now together and proud of the family they created. Please remember that every day you had with them was special and continue to share their values with your family and friends.

I first learned of Luba’s passing prior to yesterday’s church service. Luba was a sweet and wonderful person, and so very, very kind to me. She always had a kind and gentle smile for me as I served at church with Father. She will be greatly missed by everyone in our congregation and the church Sisterhood. May our Lord comfort her entire family, and may Luba’s Memory be Eternal.
