Agnes Monica Steinmiller
August 12, 1933 - March 15, 2024
Agnes Monica Steinmiller, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away
peacefully on March 15, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. Born on August 12, 1933, Agnes, nicknamed "Cookie," lived a life of kindness, compassion, and unwavering devotion to those she loved.
Cookie was born in Toledo, Ohio, and raised her family in Perrysburg, Ohio, along with her husband, Bill. A dedicated mom, she chose to stay at home to raise her children. Later, she launched a career as an Administrative Secretary and eventually left her position at Perrysburg Public Schools to retire in Florida. She finally settled in Ormond Beach, where she spent the remaining days of her life on Earth.
Cookie was a woman of strong faith. She was baptized as a Catholic and later chose her beloved Trinity Lutheran Church to continue her faith journey. When things got tough, Cookie got on her knees.
Cookie was a devoted wife to her husband, Bill Steinmiller, until his passing, and a loving mother to her children, Catherine Weaver and Jim Steinmiller, and daughter-in-law, Julie Kowalski. Cookie cherished her role as a grandmother to Rachel (Tony) Scherley and Andrew Weaver. She took great joy in spoiling her great-grandchildren, Easton and Tanner Scherley, with love and affection.
Throughout her life, Cookie supported her country and those who served it. She bravely volunteered to spot enemy aircraft during WW2, gave time and resources to homeless veterans, and supported our Wounded Warriors, who held a special place in her heart. There was never a time across her many years when Cookie wasn't generously volunteering her time and resources to those in her community, often bringing hope to those who were forgotten or underserved. She brought comfort, support, and gifts to homebound elderly and children of incarcerated parents.
Her life-long volunteer efforts touched the lives of many, and her selflessness left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
In addition to her dedication to her family and community, Cookie had a deep love for nature. She tended her garden every morning without fail and never let a day pass without learning more about gardening and horticulture. Cookie's fondness for "playing in the dirt" brought many magnificent gardens to life.
Cookie's memory will be cherished by her loving family and friends. She will be dearly missed. Though she may no longer be with us in body, her spirit lives on in the hearts of those she touched.
Memorial services for Cookie will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1205 Ridgewood Ave, Holly Hill, FL 32117, on Sunday, March 24, 202, following Palm Sunday Service. Lunch and visitation will start at 11:45 A.M., and the Memorial Service will take place at 1:00 P.M.
In lieu of fresh flowers, the family requests donations to Cookie's beloved Trinity Lutheran Church, or please consider bringing butterfly-attracting plants to be placed in memorial gardens created to celebrate Cookie's life.
