Life Legacy
Elizabeth Ann ("Libby") Steakley, 65, peacefully passed away at home
on January 5th, 2014, surrounded by her loving family. Born to Dorothy
("Dot") Neaureax Sadler and Frank Kenneth Sadler on September 7th,
1948, Libby spent her youth in Muskogee, Oklahoma. She graduated with a
bachelor's degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1969. She met the love of
her life, Steven R. Steakley, in 1969 and they married on June 12th, 1970. They
lived in Oklahoma City for the entire 43 years of their marriage. Libby loved
her time at the University of Oklahoma, which included the experience with her
sorority, Delta Delta Delta. She worked at Steakley & Gilbert, an Oklahoma
City CPA firm, for 18 years and also spent many hours serving Oklahoma City
with various charitable and civic endeavors. Her hobbies included reading,
needle pointing, traveling and baking delicious deserts. But, most of all, she
enjoyed caring for her family and friends. She was, in every sense of the word,
a servant to her family and friends and took great pride in it. She was a
devout Catholic and deserves many accolades for her unfailing love to all. She
was a wonderful and nurturing wife, mother and grandmother. Her caring attitude
and unconditional love was such a blessing to them. She was preceded in death
by her parents. She is survived by her husband Steve; her two daughters, Sarah
Pruellage, and her husband William of New York City, and Lauren Brollier, and
her husband Tucker of Oklahoma City; grandchildren Elizabeth Ann, Emma Clair
and William Ford Pruellage of New York City, and John Kenneth Brollier of
Oklahoma City; sister Susan Sadler of Tulsa, Oklahoma and numerous in-laws,
cousins, nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on
Thursday, January 16th at 1:00 p.m. at Christ the King church in Oklahoma City
with Father Rick Stansberry officiating. A private family interment will follow
at Rose Hill Cemetery. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations
be made to The Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, 1501 N.
Classen Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73106.
