LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Our beautiful mom, Betty Jean Steeber, left this world Jan. 13, 2015.

Betty was born to Leo and Florence McClure in Lima, Ohio, on June 16, 1923. Her family moved to Hollywood, Calif., when she was 5 years old, where she grew up and met James Steeber at Fairfax High School.

After World War II they raised their family in the San Fernando Valley. They started vacationing in Lake County in 1951 and then relocated to Lake County in 1978.

Betty was an artist on a sewing machine, loved to square dance, sing and play bingo. She enjoyed the humor in life and people. She was splendid in the telling of the many stories of her life.

Betty had a very generous heart and nature. She is much loved by her entire family and will be greatly missed.

Betty is survived by daughters, Gloria (John) Quillan and Kathleen (Keith) Buter; sister, Jacqueline (Jerry) Rudnick; daughter-in-law, Ruth Steeber; cousin, Janet Cannicot; seven grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband and high school sweetheart, James W. Steeber; son, Gary Steeber; grandson, Michael Schaffter; and great-grandson, Kayden Fish.

A memorial service will be at Chapel of the Lakes, 1625 N. High St., Lakeport at 1 p.m. Feb. 21.

The family prefers donations to Hospice of Lake County in Betty's memory.
