Rose Steidl's Obituary
Rose Steidl, 95, died peacefully on Saturday, December 10, 2016 in Jacksonville, New York. Born and raised in Paris, Illinois, she received her undergraduate degree from St. Mary of the Woods College, Indiana and earned her master's degree and Ph.D. from Cornell University with a focus on home management and family economics. In 1980 she retired from Cornell University with the title of Professor Emeritus. While at Cornell, she co-authored the college textbook Work in the Home which became the major reference nationally and internationally for students studying the management of human resources through the design of work and workplaces. The book was also used by manufacturers of household equipment, kitchen designers, and professionals working with people with physical limitations. The book was also translated into Japanese. Her interests included genealogy, traveling, nature, and birding. She was preceded in death by parents Dominic and Viola Rose Steidl, two brothers, Raymond and Charles, two sisters Virginia and Mary Ida Riedell. She is survived by one sister, Sister Martha, two brothers Frank and Walter, and many nieces and nephews. Her family will miss her kindness, generous spirit, and sense of humor. Should anyone desire, the family suggests memorial donations be made to a favorite charity of one's choice. A private graveside service and burial will be held in the spring. Stewart and Carroll Funeral Home is assisting the family with the local arrangements.
