INDIANAPOLIS

Virginia Carolyn Steinberger, 88, of Indianapolis passed away Monday, May 16, 2016, at her home with family by her side.

Born on Feb. 21, 1928, in Decatur, Illinois, she was married to Don R. Steinberger of Seymour. He preceded her in death on Jan. 1, 2008.

Don and Carolyn lived in Seymour from the time they were married in 1952 until 2000 when they moved to Indianapolis to be close to family.

Carolyn will be remembered for the gifts of love, laughter and stories she gave her family during the last few months of her life. She allowed us to be with her on her final journey, a journey she made with a grace and dignity that taught us so much and is her legacy to her family. Throughout her life, she loved her dogs with a passion.

Survivors include her daughters, Claudia Cottingham and Jill Wood; granddaughters, Christin Willman, Spencer Wood and Alexis Wood; and great-grandson, Finn Willman who was her golden child.

Pastor Sam Davenport, formerly of Seymour, will conduct a private service for family.

Memorials may be sent to the Humane Society of Jackson County per her wish.
