After a short illness, Mrs. Dolores Steele went home to

be with the Lord on February 21 after a life of minister­

ing to others. She was seventy-nine. Her husband Dr.

Arthur Steele was one of the founders and first presi­ Sports

dent of Clearwater Christian College. She leaves be­

hind a Godly heritage and a focus of ministering to those

around her. Service to others was the only life-style

that Mrs. Steele knew, and she

never swayed from it. This ser­

vice-oriented life began to take

shape as a teen. The Lord gave

her a love for music and the abil­ Ploy

ity to play the piano. Mrs. Steele

used these talents for God, serv­

ing in as a church pianist from

her youth until she passed away.

She followed the pattern of Prov­

erbs 31 well as she dealt with the day-to-day needs of

her children and husband. This was perhaps her great­

est ministry. Mrs. Steele preferred to serve behind the Jr/Sr

scene in most cases. The idea of supporting the minis­ Graduation

try was easily observed by the students. They consid­

ered her a kind, supportive example and pattern for their 1 0

own lives to follow. Those who knew her rejoice in her

testimony and the legacy of service that she leaves be­

hind. Family, friends, colleagues, and students hon­

ored Mrs. Steele at a memorial service in the Gospel Conclusion

Center Memorial Chapel.
