Bette was born February 20, 1944, in Lincoln, the

Pulaski. She married Larry Steffens on August 1,
1965, in Lincoln. He preceded her in death.
Surviving Bette are her children: Renee (Bob)

Bette retired from Lincoln College as the Bookstore
Manager and was a member of Immanuel Lutheran
Church, where she was a past board member. She loved
being a volunteer class grandmother at Chester East
Lincoln and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the
wonderful students there. She was also a member of
Lincoln Logan Real Estate Investment Association.
Additionally, she was an enthusiastic and dedicated
4-H leader for 20 years and a superintendent of the
4-H Floriculture show at the Logan County Fair. |
Bette’s passion was her family and
dear friends. She loved being an active member of
her church, walking, cooking, baking, entertaining
at her home, playing Pinocle, traveling and spending
time with her loving family, who will miss her
dearly. One of her greatest joys was spending time
with her grandchildren, Abi and Alex and watching
them grow.
Known for her kindness, grace, gentle spirit and
easy smile, Bette will truly leave a hole in the
hearts of all those who knew her.
