I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I loved having "Mrs. Steele" in 8th grade science. Her class was the best and she was one of my all-time favorite teachers! She made me laugh so hard and had the best sense of humor!! Such a fun contagious laugh and great personality! To Mr. Steele and family, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Ted and Family: Barb was my most influential and favorite teacher. She is one of the main reasons I became a math teacher and a principal. Her smile was infectious and made such a big difference in my life. I tried to find her through the years to tell her in person, and I'm sorry that didn't happen. I'm just happy I could tell her family. Prayers to all of you!

I am so sorry for your loss. Barb was a wonderful teacher and person with a big heart...which always showed by the way she dealt
with people. Just remember all the precious moments shared with Mrs. Steele the mother, grandmother, and wife. I am very proud to have known Barb. Ted take care of yourself. My best to Brent and Kyle too.

We were so sorry to hear of Barb’s passing, Ted. What a classy lady!!! A wonderful, caring teacher with an infectious sense of humor, she brightened every room she entered. She raised two strong, talented, and hard working sons, and even managed to keep you in line!!! What an absolute treasure!!!
Terri and I won’t be able to attend her services as we won’t be back in Iowa until the end of March, but know we’re having good thoughts for you and the Steele family. Take care, Ted.
