Please share a memory of Eleanor to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Eleanor Lorraine Daly Steward, age 91, of Yankton passed away peacefully and went home to the Lord on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at Avera Yankton Care Center, Yankton. Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:00 AM, Saturday, November 16, 2013 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Yankton with Rev. Mark Lichter officiating. Burial will be in Sacred Heart Cemetery. Visitations will begin at 6 PM, Friday, November 15, 2013 at the Opsahl-Kostel Funeral Home and Crematory, Yankton with a 7:00 PM Rosary and 7:30 PM Scripture service. Visitations will resume one hour prior to the service at the church. Lorraine was born on August 5, 1922 at St. Luke's Hospital in Aberdeen, SD to Michael and Eleanor (Lockway) Daly. She attended St. Mary's Catholic School in Zell, SD and later graduated from Redfield High School. Lorraine was married to Vince Steward by the Right Reverend Monsignor O'Meara in Watertown, SD and lived many years in the Brookings, SD area before moving to Yankton in 1968. Lorraine very much enjoyed being with her family and especially cherished the time she spent with her nine grandchildren. Lorraine was a firm and proud believer in her Catholic faith and will always be remembered by her family and friends as a faithful servant of God. She also loved to play cards and was very fond of all her wonderful bridge partners whom she met through many years of marathon play. Lorraine was a very accomplished cook and as a result, one of her favorite pastimes was preparing meals and entertaining family and friends. Lorraine's heritage was particularly important to her and was proud to have shared many Irish traditions with her children and grandchildren. Lorraine and her family are indebted to the wonderful, compassionate, and loving staff at the Yankton Care Center where she was loved and cared for in her last days. Lorraine's memory will be honored by those who survive her: daughter, Mary Pietz of Lincoln, NE; son and daughter-in-law, Brian and Marie Steward of Yankton, SD; daughter and son-in-law, Lori and Michael Sinovic of Columbus, NE; nine grandchildren: Tyler Pietz, Logan Pietz, Collin Pietz, Aaron Steward, Charlie Steward, Will Steward, Eric Sinovic, Lucas Sinovic, and Madeline Sinovic; brother, Michael Daly of Green Bay, WI; and numerous nephews and nieces. Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents, Michael and Eleanor Daly, sister, Madonna Marie Daly King, and brother, Bart Daly.
