Betty Lou Steiner

Betty Lou Steiner, 91, of Hudson, Wisconsin, was born on January 8, 1935, in Ellsworth, Wisconsin, and passed away peacefully on March 9, 2026. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Catherine (Zwickey) Steiner, her twin brother Bruce Steiner, and her nephew Ted Steiner.

She is survived by her five sons, Tom (Kim), Jon (Chris), Dan (Val), Jim (Theresa), and Pat; six grandchildren, Matt (Abby), Jason, Tera (John), Anne (Ben), Megan (Jared), and Joseph; and four great-grandchildren, Ezra, Eva, Veda, and James. Betty was also a special aunt to Beth (Egan) Brumley and a great-aunt to Betty Brumley.

Betty dedicated her life to learning and family. She began her career as a middle school home economics teacher in Wabasha, Minnesota, where she inspired many students with her practical wisdom and caring spirit for sixteen years. She later earned a master’s degree in Counselor Education from Winona State University and went on to serve as a family counselor, therapist, and supervisor of Family Services at Hazelden Center for Youth and Families until her retirement.

Those who knew Betty remember her love of cooking and sewing, though her favorite pastime was hosting garage sales that felt more like the opening of a small store right out of her garage. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished by her family and friends, who will always remember her as Grandma B.
