A 1952 graduate of Hazleton High School, Lois dedicated her life to caring for her family and her home.

She liked to bake and always looked forward to family holiday gatherings. But what she cherished most was the time she spent with her four grandchildren, who were the loves of her life.

Steiner, who died March 25, 2011; brothers, Robert, Edward, Donald and William Keck; and sisters, Esther and Louise Keck; Lorraine Kirschner; Dolly Albertson; and Beatrice Henderschedt. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

Steiner and his wife, Lori, Sugarloaf Twp.; grandchildren, Jennifer Steiner-Kotch and her husband, Steven, Edwardsville; Dr. Tyler Steiner and his wife, Kailene, Knoxville, Tenn.; Dr. Kyle Steiner and his fiancée, Shelby Sanko, Seneca Falls, N.Y.; and Ryan Steiner, Sugarloaf Twp. Nieces and nephews also survive.

A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Krapf & Hughes Funeral Home and Crematory, 530 W. Butler Drive, Drums. The Rev. Wayne Lupole, of Christ Lutheran Church, Hazleton, will preside.

Burial will follow in Mountain View Cemetery, West Hazleton.
