Angeline Ann Steffl was born on November 1, 1926, in Leavenworth Township, Brown County, the daughter of Clement and Philomenia (Groebner) Weiss. At the age of seven, her mother died and she went to live with her sister and her husband, Dolores and Albert Ebnet. She attended school in Mulligan Township, Iberia, District 59 near Comfrey, St. Raphael’s Catholic School and Dotson. She then lived on the farm with her father until her marriage to Lowell Steffl on October 27, 1949, at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church in Springfield.
The couple farmed north of Lamberton until moving to a farm near Comfrey, Minnesota in 1956. They later moved into Comfrey. Angeline was a very forgiving and kind mother who enjoyed coloring, gardening, canning, cooking, traveling, furniture re-finishing, antiques, crafts and sewing.
