Leoma Rena Dreyer Steffen
August 26, 1945 — March 15, 2024
Marion, Texas
She spent her life as a kingdom builder, serving her church for over 40 years working as a youth leader, Sunday school teacher, Bible study leader, and volunteering on many committees. Leoma took pride in growing things, her human legacy, plants, garden, and farm animals. She was especially proud of her children Melanie Krause (Pete), Carl Steffen (Yvette), Paula Moeller (William), and Judith Bek (Brennan). She and her husband Calvin enjoyed time outdoors watching their 12 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren play in the yard. She and Calvin spent numerous hours outside holding hands and waving at their family, neighbors and friends as their cars passed by.
Leoma took delight spending time with her lifelong friends, spending many hours with them in the kitchen sharing stories, bread, cinnamon rolls, or cookies. She spent most of her life as a seamstress; some may even say she entered this world with a Singer in hand. God gave her a beautiful gift, lovingly shared with others for over 60 years. People from surrounding counties brought her wedding dresses to alter, pants to mend, and shirts to embroider. The family went to weddings and on vacation in matching outfits thanks to her tremendous talent in sewing.
A gathering of Leoma’s family and friends will be held from 5:00-8:00 PM on Monday, March 18, 2024, at Goetz Memorial Chapel, 713 N. Austin St, Seguin, TX. A celebration of her life will be held on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, at 10:00 AM at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Marion with interment to follow at St. John’s Lutheran Church Cemetery. Family and friends are welcome to join us at the Gerth’s Party Barn following the burial. Memorial contributions in Leoma’s memory may be made to your local Hospice.
