Dear cousin Annie , I want to thank you for how you brought me into your life. How you called me cousin and I called you cousin and it was how we refer to each other. It was so special I can't thank you enough for all this Saturday night dinners and the hours of playing Spite and Malice. I want to thank you for including me in your lovely Circle of Friends what a joy for me. I will love you always. I am glad that you are no longer in pain and that you are on your new Journey , a continuous life. You have graduated from the school of Earth. Congratulations. I love you. Cousin

I don't think that Harry will be posting anything here. He's not one to share much publicly but with his sister's death, he is the only survivor of his nuclear family and that carries with it it's own grief and sadness.  Even though they weren't the most affectionate brother and sister, they shared a deep love and honor for each other and their family of origin. Annie always wanted her big brother around and I loved it when they would spend hours playing Boggle. They grew up playing board and card games and it was a great way for them to spend time together. 

For me, I think our obituary captured Annie's spirit pretty well but I want to add that I couldn't have asked for a better "sisserlaw" (as she called me). She was always there for me and we had a helluva lot of fun together. We also went through all the hell of finding out about her illnesses, going to doctor's appointments, hospital stays and her final days. I want to publicly thank all of Annie's friends who are some of the most lovely and generous people I've ever known. They were there for her and adored her throughout her life and are now a huge source of support and love for us in her physical absence. 
Finally, I want to acknowledge her life-partner, Andrew, who took her to all of those doctor appointments, rarely left her side during every hospital stay and provided personal care for her throughout each illness and her last days.  No one should have to go through what Annie did and no one should have to provide the intimate, messy and physically exhausting experiences of caring for their loved one as he did. And he did it without complaining. Annie was  humiliated that Andrew had to give her the level of care that he did and he kept saying “It’s okay, babe. At least we’re together”. He also did everything with a sense of humor that comes from some of the ridiculously awful physical situations they shared. I'm so grateful he was there for her and now we'll all try to be there for him.

Annie,
I love you.
you and your family, were amazing to me. 
i don't know if i have EVER connected to true joy, as we did. you made me so happy.
I'm so sorry we lost touch and could not bridge the gap. but I never stopped thinking of you, our happiness, our friendship and our families. 
RIP, I will never forget, nor take for granted the kindness and love we had. 
tawny will meet you at the Rainbow bridge. I'll see you there. 
LOVE


Annie was an incredibly lovely person.  I am grateful for knowing her for many years.  My parents still live next to her home, we grew up in our teen years knowing that they were all wonderful people, could be counted on for anything we might need.  Thinking of all of the people in her life that loved her, you are in my thoughts.  Your smile will always be in my memories.

I felt so Privileged to be Annie Steiner’s sister friend. I have such wonderful memories of Annie calling me up on a Friday afternoon to say hey let’s go camping at Denny Creek. Can you be here in an hour? I would run home grab some stuff and meet Annie at her house and off we would go with the dogs and friends to set up camp. We would  go inner tubing down the river. Sitting at the campfire cooking meals and tell stories. we would also follow my sister’s band the girlfriends to all their gigs. Annie would sit and play pac-Man until the band started. And of course all the wonderful dinners, passover Seder‘s, birthday parties, baby showers, and my wedding. Yes she wanted my wedding at her home. However, one of the best memories of all is having Annie‘s 60th birthday party at her home with all her childhood and high school friends. We had a live band playing all her favorite songs. That was The party of all parties. Annie is now an Angels. She’s with her parents, my husband Ernest.
I love you my sister friend. Rest In Peace.

I called Annie my Sister Friend. She’s been my dear friend since 8th grade but I also thought of her as a sister. 
I loved her to the moon and back. Everything already said about Annie  is absolutely true. I can’t imagine a world where there is no Annie. A friend who was always there even if there was everywhere my band was playing. She loved to pack up the car with a few close friends and head out for an adventure. The thing is, Annie likes all the comforts of home so after Annie put her pillow , blankets and enough snacks to last a month, there was hardly room for our luggage. Oh what fun we had. 
No matter how awful she was feeling from her cancer treatments, she almost never complained she just wanted to talk about our next adventure.
My sister’s wedding reception was at Annies and sadly, 30 years later, her husband’s memorial reception.  I had my baby shower and 30th birthday there. 
She  adopted my family for Passover Dinners and on and on it went.
One of the most profound moments of my life was staying by her side along with friends and family the last 7 days of her life. I will never forget our sweet Annie. Her friends are fierce and protective and her inner circle is huge. 
Rest with the angels dear sister friend.

When I first met Annie, I just fell in love with her!  She would come into the QFC and we would talk about everything!  Even though she was not well she was always concerned about everyone else.  I loved the hugs that she gave me and will truly miss those hugs!  Annie you were loved by so many people!  You will be missed but never forgotten.   Until we meet again!  Love you❣

Annie loved people and pets. She made me feel welcome and appreciated ; Special. I feel she had a very fine “ home” which  l had the pleasure of visiting and working at. I was fed some great lunches there which reminded me of the large farmer meals I ate while harvesting wheat in central Washington. I learned later that it was Andrew who prepared my delicious fare as Annie fought. Thank you Annie for your society, sharing and positive attitude; your kindness and smile; your artistic talent and raspberry jelly. You are special. 

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the Steiner family,I am saddened to hear of the passing of Annie Steiner.Though it has been decades,I remember Annie,and her brother Harry very well.My mother Connie Beals, and Annie's mother were good friends,my mother worked at the Mercer Island Reporter. The Steiner family are a beautiful,loving family.May God comfort you at this time.

A smile and childhood memory. Annie asking me to be her new friend. When I moved to M.I. She had a warm welcoming smile so excited for a new neighbor. She always loved animals, Hosting a party. She loved her family. Loved the beach. But loved it when you would call up to her window what’s cha doing girlfriend.  Child hood silly’s jumping on the bed. Sledding down the hills, kick the can, Hide in seek. Her heart was warm and loved life. I was sad her last years were a tough battle. I will treasure her spirit of giggles, May you Rest In Peace Annie. 

My youngest sister just told me of Annie's passing. Annie and her Brother Harry were nextdoor childhood neighbors from elementary to high school. Mercer Terrace Drive was blessed with the Steiner kids and many other families kids to share and play with growing up. I have many memories of going swimming in the local pool with Annie, she would always go. Music could be heard from Annies open window, and a ball game could be heard from Harry's open window in spring and summer. I will remember the smile and laugh her mother Charlotte and father Sam gave her. 


I remember so many wonderful things. I enjoyed our dog birthday party and more recent our cousin lunches.  Craft day at Annie’s house was so much fun.  We always ate too much but we did make some fun things which I will cherish. We all loved her jams and pickles. She will be missed.  May her memories be a blessing.

I was one of the people fortunate enough to experience Annie's huge heart. I was welcomed into her home on occasion for various celebrations and she made me feel like I was the guest of honor! If this world were filled with Annies it would be a much better place. Her love and pure joy will always be remembered.  

The definition of kindness is the act of being caring or warm in spirit.  This describes Annie and who she was, at her core.  You made the world a better place and you will be missed by many, sweet friend.

If words could capture a beautiful and loving soul and her lifetime of goodness, it would be the words written in her obituary. She was all that to all she loved and the countless number of friends and family who loved her. I would like to add that Annie’s welcoming nature was genuine and immediate. She made you feel like she was waiting just for you. She will be so missed, and leaves her beauty with all whose lives she touched. RIL, sweet Annie. 


I keep thinking of the election parties I went to at her house. All the wonderful food she made and even when it didn't go my way it was always enjoyable. 
Although haven't been in touch for a while I have lots of happy memories of Chelan and parties and the house!!
