May God bless Elizabeth, Lisa and Joshua in this time of loss. Liz, as she was known, was a constant in my life along with her husband and extended family. Words seem insufficient to convey what this family has meant to me as a young person growing up. I visited Liz over Thanksgiving 2024 and will cherish the time we spent talking and reliving our lives.
Dear Lord, we lift the soul of our departed loved one, Elizabeth S. Steger. Grant them eternal rest and let perpetual light shine upon them. Embrace their soul with Your loving arms and guide them to Your heavenly kingdom. May they find peace and joy in Your presence, free from all pain and suffering. Comfort us, their loved ones, with Your grace and help us trust in Your divine plan.
John 14:1-3
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” Amen.
My prayers are with The Steger/Sutton families in your time of bereavement. Sister Steger as I called her was a quiet, determined, and poise woman of faith. She was a lady of strong strength & character. I pray God's love surround you'll & you have memories of good times forever.

To the Family of the Late Mrs. Elizabeth Steger,
Grace and peace to you in this time of loss. On behalf of Reeder Memorial Baptist Church, I want to extend our deepest condolences as we mourn the passing of a beloved woman of faith, Mrs. Elizabeth Steger.
Mrs. Steger was more than a member of our church—she was a presence, a pillar, and a quiet but steady source of love and encouragement. As the wife of our former pastor, she understood the weight of ministry, yet she carried it with grace. Even after her husband’s tenure ended, she remained committed to Reeder, continuing to worship, serve, and support our church family. Her faithfulness was unwavering, and her kindness left a lasting imprint on so many of us.
We know that in this past year, as she transitioned to Tennessee to be closer to family, her heart was still with us, just as our hearts remained with her. And though we grieve, we grieve as those who have hope—hope in the promises of God, hope in the resurrection, and hope in the day when we will see her again.
Please know that we are praying for your strength and comfort in these days. As a church, we will miss Mrs. Steger dearly, but we are grateful for the love, wisdom, and faith she shared with us. May you find peace in knowing that her legacy of faithfulness continues to bear fruit in the lives of those she touched.
With love and prayers,
Rev. Thomas R. Farrow, Jr.
Pastor, Reeder Memorial Baptist Church
