She was the youngest and last surviving of 13 children born to Stanislow and Theodora Stegora of Harding, MN. She wed George Steeber on October 20, 1951 in Minneapolis. They raised their family in New Hope, MN and permanently moved to Mille Lacs Lake after George's retirement. Bea was a devout Catholic and member of Sacred Heart Church in Wahkon, MN. She loved all things outdoors, especially the lake. You could find her fishing until sunset nearly every evening. Bea was an avid hunter and looked forward to opening weekend each fall. Bea loved playing cribbage with family and friends.
