2022
Betty Jane (Milhimes) Steinour, 89, of Gettysburg, passed away on Monday, June 20, 2022, surrounded by her loving family. Born November 1, 1932 in Biglerville, PA, she was the daughter of the late Ed & Mary (Saylor) Milhimes. Betty was married 70 years to the love of her life, Earl (Babe) Steinour, Jr. Beck (as she was well known) and Babe had 6 children which promoted her to the best job in the world and her biggest joy – being a MOM. Betty was The Mom every kid wanted, her house… and kitchen were always open to everyone. She was the epitome of what a mother should be as she welcomed all as one of her own. Betty’s love of children inspired her to open a daycare in her home where she provided nurturing & loving care to many children for 20+ years. Many of her former “daycare families” still stay in touch after moving away. She was a great cook, and everyone enjoyed her “dippy” eggs, Sloppy Joes, hot beef sandwiches, and especially white macaroni. Betty loved a good game of cards, she and Babe had many friends over to enjoy a rousing game or two throughout their marriage, as the children grew up a big rite of passage was being able to sit around the table and join the game. The Steinour house was never empty of love, laughter, a fun game of cards, or good food thanks to Betty and her joyful, open heart. Betty was a faithful member of St. Francis Catholic Church and regularly attended mass until her health did not allow it. Our hearts are broken as we say our earthly goodbyes to our beautiful, sweet Betty, (Mom, Grandma), but our souls are joyful knowing that she is in a restored body celebrating with her Lord. We are comforted with the promise that we will see her again one day. Betty is survived by her loving husband Babe Steinour, children Rick Steinour, Sharon Steinour (Paul), Barry Steinour (Pam), Tammy Smith, and Crissy Steinour and Son-in-Law Robert Foth; 8 grandchildren Tony Steinour (Chris), Erika Steinour, Eric Steinour (Tatum), Abby Walters (Dale), Bobby Foth (Jess & Jaylynn), Ashley Macy (David), Brandon Steinour (Gabriella) and Danielle Smith as well as Jerrica Ott (Jerimiah); 7 great-grandchildren Emmalyn & Cora Walters, Parker & Brayden Macy, McKenna Steinour, Riley, and Marleigh Steinour; sisters, Janet Boyd, Helen Sneeringer, and brother, Jack Milhimes as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
