Coleman Funeral Home of Olive Branch
Barbara Steffel, 77, of Olive Branch, MS passed away on Saturday, December 31, 2023. There will be a gathering of family and friends and a memorial service held at a later date.
Barbara was born on June 29, 1946 in Water Valley, MS. She was married to the love of her life, Richard, for 56 years. She was a licensed cosmetologist; however, she worked as an office administrator. She did hair for her friends as a social time and for fun. Barbara loved animals, but her grandchildren were her pride and joy. She enjoyed working in her yard and gardening. Barbara was not a fan of funerals. She wants her friends and loved ones to remember her as she was in life; a happy person, loving everyone.
Barbara is survived by her husband, Richard Steffel of Olive Branch; son, Corey Steffel (Jennifer Boland) of Olive Branch; daughter, Cari Steffel (Daniel Sammons) of Olive Branch; granddaughter, Cassidy Steffel; and grandson, Cameron Beke.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Nigal Eugene and Bonnie Blanch Wolfe; and two sisters.
In lieu of traditional flowers, memorial contributions may be made in honor of Barbara Steffel to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www.stjude.org).
Online condolences can be made on her Tribute Wall at www.colemanfuneralhome.com.
