of Lakeview, AR
February 1, 1946 - April 9, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of Michele Steging (nee Monteleone), 78, of Lakeview, AR. Michele passed away on April 9, 2024. She was born on February 1, 1946 in St. Charles, IL.
Michele was reunited and married the love of her life, Jerold in November 2017.
Michele graduated from St. Charles High School and went on to have a successful career. She worked at DuKane in St. Charles, IL as a line supervisor before retiring from Capitol Lumber in Phoenix, AZ.
Michele was a radiant soul who was full of life and love. Michele loved spending time with her family and socializing with her large circle of friends. Michele loved to dance (and was phenomenal at it), listening to any 50s & 60s oldies, could hum any tune like none other and kept the cleanest house you've ever seen.
Michele is survived by her loving husband, Jerold Steging of Lakeview, AR; her children, Janet (Tim) Adams of Traverse City, MI, Christine (Joe Wanat) Steging of Brandon, FL, Steven (Laura) Steging of Batavia, IL, Katherine (Craig) Lindorff of Mountain Home, AR and Anna (David) Procell of Yorkville, IL. She was a cherished grandmother to Madison, Tony, Charlie, Joey, Brandi, Valerie, Brian, Jessica, Angela and Brittany and a doting great-grandmother to Lennon, Jason, Payton, Austin, Elliett and Rain.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Michelangelo and Lucille Monteleone and her sisters, Ginger, Lilly, Lucy and Veta.
Funeral Services will also be held at Roller Funeral Home Chapel on Saturday, April 13th beginning at 1:00 pm with Inurnment to follow at Baxter Memorial Gardens.
May her soul rest in peace knowing how much she was loved here on earth and that her job here is done. "You will rest, and then at the end you will receive your allotted inheritance." -Daniel 12:13
Arrangements are under the care of Roller Funeral Home.

I will miss our Sunday phone calls. You always said that we were like sisters. We would fly in from Illinois and stay at your home in Arizona. We did that for several years until we finally bought a home in Arizona.
We had pool parties, dinners and played cards. Spent many Christmas's and New Years and some great vactions together.
My heart just breaks when I think about how I will never see you or talk to you again.
I love you so much my very best friend.
