Lois Xlee Steele (nee: Coventry)

January 18, 1921 - March 16, 2012

Mrs. Steele was an avid reader and a very active member of the Church of Christ in Chardon. She was a very talented seamstress and did alterations for many people. She was the type of person that felt if something needed done, she would do it. Having been widowed at an early age, she did things on her own. She is survived by her daughter Xlee (Howard) Miller of Beachwood, OH, son Charles Gregory “Greg” (Sharon) Steele of Newport, OH. She is the grandmother of 6 and great grandmother of 13. She also leaves her sister Sara Grader of Canton, OH and best friend Juanita Hull. She was always considered an honorary member of the Hull family. Her husband Charles W. Steele, whom she married September 29, 1939 in Shadyside, OH, son Roger L. Steele and brother Jim Ramsay are deceased.

I was very fortunate to marry into a family that still had grandparents alive & kicking. My own passed on prior to me being able to know any of them. Grandma Steele gave me the opportunity to feel the love a grandchild feels and the know the wisdom of a generation that writes letters, that documents history and genuinely live life to the fullest. She sent me birthday cards, anniversary cards and once they showed up, her great-grand kids received the same love. We had opportunities to visit Ohio from California and were lucky to have a few visits out hear as well including our own wedding in 2000. My husband, Charles Roger Steele (Named for his grandfather & father) has a voice so close to that of his father that she said she could listen to him talk about anything. We carried out a family tradition of the name "Lee" with both of our children. Bai"Lee" and Zachary Lee. We already feel the void, knowing she is now not just far away in Ohio, but no longer somewhere we can visit. But we all know she lead a wonderful life and was a role model for all of us.Love,Sarah, Charlie, Bailee & Zachary Lee Steele

Greg & family~We are sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Thoughts and prayers to you! ~Alissa & girls in Teflon lab "C" shift

Just wanted to say that even though I had only visited a few times with Mrs. Steele she was always so kind and friendly. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Family-Our prayers are with you and even though I did not see Aunt Lois often over the last years, she was always in my prayers and thoughts. I will always remember being at Grey Horse Farm for the many pot lucks, special occasions, or just having fun. Aunt Lois always was the greatest hostess. She had the best ice cream and ice tea! My fondest memory though, was helping her pick vegetables and corn from the garden. I am going to miss you, Aunt Lois, but am sure that you are in the arms of the Lord right now and talking and walking with Uncle Chuck.
