Marie Theresa Steiner (May 27, 1925 – October 13, 2011) was born in Rorschacherberg, Switzerland and came to America in 1953 with her husband, Alfons.

She was an equal partner running a successful family dairy farm in Marysville while raising five children.

Our beloved matriarch will be missed and remembered for her love of family, warm down-home hospitality, razor sharp wit, great home cooking, green thumb, and unfaltering faith.

She is preceded in death by her son Paul Joseph (1975); parents Anton and Marie; brothers Anton, Louis, Joe, and sister Lizabeth. Marie is survived by her husband of 60 years Alfons; brother Jacob (Brunhild), son Al Jr. (Linda) with grandchildren Ben (Nicole) and great grand-daughter Brielle; Casey (Susie); and Alina; daughter Verena (Basil Grieco) with grand-daughters Adrienne and Arielle; daughter Mary (Eldon); and son Peter (Heidi) along with numerous nephews and nieces.

Our family would like to thank Everett Providence Regional Medical Center, Providence Hospice of Snohomish County, and Warm Beach Health Care Center for their kind and professional care.

In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to one of these excellent community resources.

We invite you to join us in a memorial mass with reception to follow at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Arlington, Saturday, October 22, 2011 at 2 pm.
