In Memory of Marilyn M. Steinberger

Marilyn Marie Steinberger passed away peacefully at the age of 87 on July 30, 2021, in Naples, Florida. She was born in Newark, New Jersey, the daughter of Richard and Nora Kovar. She attended St. John Cathedral High School and lived in Fairlawn, New Jersey, where she met her husband, Theodore Steinberger.  

She and Ted married in 1952, and moved to the “Jersey Shore”, in New Jersey, where they started and operated a successful hardware business. Marilyn became the mother of three children and with her usual tireless energy, pursued tennis as a hobby, which she loved. Marilyn and her husband retired and moved to Marco Island, Florida, in 1987. She enjoyed her retirement years with tennis, boating, and activities that were shared with family and friends.

Her parents and husband predeceased her.  

She is survived by her three children, Richard Steinberger, Sebastian, Florida, Stephen Steinberger, Jackson, New Jersey, and Susan Sandy, Naples Florida. She is survived by two grandchildren, Brendan and Candice Shea, two great grandchildren, Victoria and Lily Shea. Also surviving are her daughters-in-law, Marilyn E. Steinberger, Teresa Muriana, and son-in-law, Robert Sandy.

Her family would like to thank the outstanding staff of Avow Hospice, Naples. We would also like to express our profound gratitude to all of Marilyn's friends, who filled her years with companionship, laughter and love.

Her interment will be held at the Marco Island Cemetery and attended privately by family.
