Well, in a nutshell, here's a recap of my life since 1969. I have been married since 1974 to Bob Steele (HHS 67). We are both graduates of KSU, and Bob also has an MBA from YSU. We have spent most of our married lives in Ashtabula, and currently reside at Saybrook on the Lake.

Through the years I have worked as an Administrative Assistant/Executive Secretary to CEO's, Sr. VP's, and Administrators of companies, businesses, and programs. I retired in 2011 from KSU as a Secretary to Faculty and Program Directors.

We have 3 married children (Kevin, Jason, and Kristy) and 6 grandchildren.

My focus has been on God and family and all the many activities through the years thereof.

Together, Bob and I enjoy walking, playing cards, shopping garage sales, and traveling (including many trips overseas to wherever our children were scattered). I have especially enjoyed spending two whole summers in Germany.

Besides gardening and food preservation, I use my spare time being a fabric artist, and in particular quilting. I make some quilts for family gifts, and I have sold more than 50 of my quilts all across the country from my online Etsy shop. But mostly I make comfort quilts to donate to various charity causes or nursing homes.

I have included a couple pictures of our family. (Sorry, these were taken in 2018 and we have not been able to be all together since.)
