Tressie Harriet (Booker) Steiling, (92), of Jonesboro, AR (formerly of West Memphis, AR) died at St. Bernard's Hospital in Jonesboro on December 27, 2014.
A graveside service will be at Evergreen Cemetery, Waynesville, Illinois on January 10, 2015 at 10:00 A.M.
She is survived by a daughter, Kathy Early (Curtis) of Holiday Island, AR; two sons, Kevin Gene Steiling of Franklin, TN; Stephen Blaine (Sandra) Steiling of Jonesboro, AR; two grandchildren, Jeffrey Blaine Steiling of Jonesboro, AR and Jennifer Steiling, Little Rock, AR; two great grandchildren, Ashley and Allison Steiling, Jonesboro, AR.
Ms. Steiling was born April 21, 1922 in Waynesville,IL. She was the daughter of the late John and Minnie Booker of Waynesville, IL. She married Blaine Matthew Steiling Feb. 3, 1941.
She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents and four brothers and two sisters. She was a past member of the Waynesville Methodist Church and a graduate of Waynesville High School.
Born on a farm in central Illinois, Tressie lived her life according to the values learned on the farm - hard work, thrift, honesty, and common sense. She raised her three children to observe these principles in their own lives as well. Tressie contracted tuberculosis at a young age and endured the somewhat primitive treatments available during the early 1940s, eventually being cured and returning to her life as a wife and mother. She devoted her life to her family. Her hobbies were cooking (famous for her potato salad and homemade noodles) among other dishes and was an avid reader. Although an outside observer might consider her life unremarkable, she had an enormous impact upon the number of friends and family who were close to her. Consequently, her life is indisputable proof that living a quiet life is not synonymous with living an insignificant one.
