Elizabeth C. Steele May 22, 2011 Elizabeth Chappell Steele, 88, of Fayetteville, passed quietly on Sunday after a brief illness. She was known to many as Chettie, a childhood nickname that stayed with her throughout her entire life. She was born November 30, 1922, in Syracuse to the late Donald E. and Dorothy Jamison Chappell Sr. Her happy youth was spent in their home on Comstock Ave. with her two sisters and brother. While in high school, she met Robert H. Steele, the man who would be her loving husband for over 62 years, until his passing in April of 2009. She graduated from Syracuse University and married Bob on October 11, 1947, after his return from WW II and his graduation from SU. They would reside in Fayetteville for all their years, raising four boys along the way. While raising her family, she always found time for her gardens, flower shows, bridge club, book club, choir at the United Church of Fayetteville, skiing, summer trips to the Jersey Shore, entertaining, volunteering with Meals on Wheels and pursuing the little white ball around the links of Onondaga Golf & Country Club. Bob's business led them to many trips to Europe and Great Britain, with many wonderful adventures. She was predeceased by her brother, Donald E. Chappell Jr.; her sister, Helen Chappell Gray Weber; her youngest son, Christopher J. Steele in 2004; and her husband, Robert. Elizabeth is survived by sons Jamieson R. (Kathleen) of Ogdensburg, NY, Jeffery C. (Micky) of Catonsville, MD, and Gary R. (Cindy) of Syracuse; grandchildren (children of son Jamieson), Andrew B. (Tammie) Steele of Syracuse, and Elizabeth (Sean) Steele James of Marcellus; grandchildren (children of son Gary), Michael T., Kathryn J. and Sarah A.
