Linda Lou Steinloski Obituary (2026)

Linda Lou Steinloski, passed away on July 14, 2026. Born on December 2, 1944, to Leo and Vivian Dormaier, in Yakima, WA, where she spent much of her life. Her early years were marked by her enthusiasm for the band and her role as a majorette at Eisenhower High School. This zest for life continued into her adulthood and she cherished her days working for Armored Car Services, driving a daily route to Ellensburg. In her personal life, her love for animals, particularly Boston Terriers, was renowned, and she found immense joy in her trips to the beach. Linda Lou's life was characterized by her dedication to family. Her first marriage to Jerry Hart from 1964 to 1998 blessed them with two daughters: Kimberly and Keri. She later found love again with Jim Steinloski, whom she married on December 24, 2000. Her family grew to include her beloved grandchildren Jered, K'Lynne, Jessica, and Jax, and her great-grandson Ethan, all of whom brought immense joy to her life. Linda Lou is survived by her husband, Jim Steinloski, her daughter Keri Pellicer, and her grandchildren and great-grandson. She is preceded in death by her parents, Leo and Vivian Dormaier, and her daughter Kimberly Eliason. Her generous spirit, empathetic heart, and thoughtful nature will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her. We encourage friends and family to leave memories and upload photos of Linda Lou to the memorial page. Her life was filled with love and kindness, and sharing these moments will help us all remember her as the wonderful woman she was.
