Mary Ann (Prester) Steinle passed away on Monday, March 26, 2018 at Hillside Village of De Soto, Kansas at the age of 80. She was born on April 7, 1937 in Russell, Kansas to the late Fred and Elizabeth (Milberger) Prester. She grew up in the Dorrance, Kansas area and was united in marriage to Leo David Steinle. They were blessed with four sons, Gary, Duane, Terry, and Bobby.
Mary Ann was a loving and hardworking farmwife and mother. A woman of deep faith, she was a member of First Lutheran Church in Dorrance. When her husband fell ill, she took care of him, worked the farm, and raised her boys. She worked part-time at the café in Dorrance and was also a member of the American Legion Auxiliary. Always a delightful and cheerful woman, she encouraged family and friends alike with her positive outlook and grateful attitude. An avid Kansas University Jayhawk fan, she never missed a game on her radio or television, and cheered them on into the Final Four this year. Her Lord and family were the loves of her life, but she also had a special affection for fried chicken.
Mary Ann is survived by her sons Gary Steinle and wife Andrea of Morrison, CO, Terry Steinle of Porterville, CA, and Bobby Steinle and wife Suzanne of Lawrence; daughter-in-law Teri-Lynette Steinle of Porterville, CA; grandchildren Matthew Tyler, Sean David, Jackson Daniel, and Natasha Elyse; and great-grandchildren Harper Michelle, Henry David, and Vera June.
She was preceded in death by her parents Fred and Elizabeth Prester, husband Leo David Steinle, and son Duane Steinle.
Funeral Services will be held at 10:30am on Saturday, March 31, 2018 at First Lutheran Church in Dorrance. Burial will follow in the Dorrance City Cemetery. There will be no visitation.
