Obituary For Ethel Reich Steigerwald

Here I am Lord, I have heard You call my name!

Ethel Reich Steigerwald entered into her eternal home on August 13, 2024 to be with her Lord and beloved husband, her soul mate Richard to whom she was married for fifty years. Ethel and Richard had a sense of adventure and loved parties, dancing, and laughing with family and friends.

A life-long and devout Catholic, Ethel was a woman of deep faith who derived her strength from God's love and compassion.

She leaves behind her joy and pride, her family which includes her son, Craig (Lynn); daughters, Denise (Gerald), Cynthia (Michael), and Laura Jayne (Lynn). She is also survived by her loving grandchildren, Nikki Clausen (Tim), Kristine Hale, Chad Payne (Heather), and Trent Payne (Kaydi) as well as great-grandchildren, Noah Payne, Gavin Payne, Myles Payne, Colin Payne, Jack Payne, Ryker Clausen, and Tempe Clausen.

Ethel was predeceased by her brothers, Robert Reich of Cooperstown, NY and Dr. Paul Reich of Binghamton, NY.

Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital or the SPCA.
