For the final time on Earth, Jon Raleigh Steffey, lovingly and gently kissed his "Little Princess" and, said, as he always did each time either of them left the house, "I love you! Be careful!" With contentment and joy in his spirit and soul, Jon said good-bye to his wife, Lorna Sue LaBelle-Steffey, on June 10, 2009. Jon was born to Mary Ellen and Robert Steffey (both deceased) on July 1, 1946, in Coldwater. He and Lorna (Sue) were married on Jan. 27, 1999, in Alexandria, Va., and, again, on July 30, 1999, in Coldwater. The couple lived joyfully in Alexandria, Va., before moving, permanently, to Wilmington, N.C. in 2004. During his life in Alexandria and Wilmington, Jon, ever-giving and humble, was deeply cherished and admired by his wife and many "families" – his neighborhood "families", his Home Depot "family" (where he was employed at the time of his death), and his Pine Valley Elementary School "family". Jon is survived by his wife, Lorna Sue Labelle-Steffey and his "sweet babies", "Bailey Boo" and "Hurley Too" all of Wilmington; Pam Lippert (sister), Holly Kelly and Becky Gonzalez (nieces) and Belicia Gonzalez (great-niece), Andrew and Jessica AcMoody (children), Greg Ware and Michelle Hulliberger (step-children), all of whom reside in Michigan. A celebration of Jon’s life will be held at 12:30 p.m. Friday, June 19, 2009, at Andrews Mortuary Valley Chapel, 4108 South College Road, Wilmington, N.C.
