I never met Mrs. Steadman but have known her daughter, Mary, for many years since we worked together at Brookley AFB and then at the Army Corps of Engineers. I also knew Mary's husband, Frank. Mary told me about her mother cooking delicious meals for her large family even when she was way up in age. She sounds like a sweet, wonderful person. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
