Diane P. Steidl's Obituary
Diane P. Steidl (née Frick), age 55, of Sheffield Village, passed away on Sunday, March 9, 2025 at the Avon Lake Town Center Community Campus. She was born on February 17, 1970 in Cleveland and has been a resident of Sheffield Village for the past 4 years. She grew up in North Ridgeville and lived there for over 40 years before moving to Kansas, then Las Vegas, and finally settling in Sheffield Village. She was heavily involved with the North Ridgeville school system as a well-loved substitute teacher and had an elementary school classroom of her own in Las Vegas. She was a past parishioner at St. Julie Billiart Church in North Ridgeville and was involved with their Eagles’ Wings program delivering surplus bread and groceries to local families in need. Diane was exceptionally crafty: she ran a home business designing custom doll houses and also enjoyed crocheting. She was also a lover of words, as both an avid reader and a writer with a number of published poems.
She is survived by her son Tyler Steidl of New Jersey and daughter Kara Steidl of North Carolina. Diane was preceded in death by her parents Inez “Pat” (née Currier) and Edward M. Frick.
