Lynne Steiner Obituary
68, of St Petersburg, FL and Wolfeboro, NH, passed away peacefully at home in St. Petersburg on September 18, 2025, surrounded by her family. Born June 29, 1957 in Syracuse, NY, she was the daughter of Anthony and Mary Louise Peterson. Lynne graduated from Manchester (NH) Memorial High School, Rivier College and, later in life, earned her nursing degree and RN license through St. Petersburg College.
Lynne lived her life with grace, love, loyalty and calm. With an impeccable eye for style, she loved fashion and curating beautiful homes where family and friends always gathered. Lynne could often be found walking her dog Van along the St. Pete waterfront, rowing her scull on Lake Winnipesaukee or skiing in Colorado. She enjoyed travel, especially to Italy, tennis and reading. Her greatest joy was being Grandmere, and she treasured time spent with all six of her grandchildren.
Lynne was predeceased by her parents, Anthony and Louise Peterson.
Family includes her husband of 25 years, Nelson Steiner; sons, Matthew (Rachel) Batty and Ryan (Jennifer) Batty of St. Petersburg, FL; stepsons, Nelson Steiner Jr. of Santa Fe, NM, Steven (Nancy) Steiner of Venice, CA and Matthew (fiancée, Idis Claxton) Steiner of Tampa, FL; granddaughters, Isa Bernal Steiner, Matokie, Otillia and Teresita de Cuba-Batty, Josephine Batty and grandson Brooks Batty; siblings, Richard (Leslie) Peterson of Manchester, NH, Robert Peterson of Westbrook, ME and Lisa Hebert of St. Petersburg, FL; nieces, Nicole Peterson and Layne Hebert and nephew, Michael Peterson; her loving Golden Retriever, Van Morrison; along with many dear friends in Florida and New Hampshire.
Lynne's passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends and many more whose lives were touched by her. Although we may no longer physically see Lynne, she will remain deeply loved and will never be forgotten.
A funeral service will be held Monday, September 29, 11 am at St. Raphael Catholic Church in St. Petersburg. A celebration of Lynne's life will take place later that day on September 29 at 6 pm at the Vinoy Golf Club, 600 Snell Isle Blvd NE, St. Petersburg. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.

I met Lynne through tennis, where we played singles, shared lessons, and a friendship I will miss dearly. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a way of grabbing my arm with excitement to share a witty or thoughtful comment. I always dressed up a bit for our lunches, knowing her love of fashion, as we checked out new foodie hot spots and museum visits. We talked about everything from family and travel to her love of horses and more. I will miss you my friend!
