Jennifer Lavergn Steadman

Jennifer Lavergn Steadman, age 47 Maryville, passed away Friday, July 22, 2022     at Loudon Medical Center. Born in Greenville, PA on December 2, 1974 to parents, David Steadman and Betsy Elaine Steadman. She attended Mathews High School in Vienna, OH, class of ’93. She was preceded in death by father, David Edward Steadman; brother, David Edward Steadman, Jr. She had the honor of being the mother of David John Suiciu, Brianna Lynn Harris, and Brandon Michael Harris. She loved entertaining her only grandchild, Declan Schmitt with makeshift adventures and cattle farm where she lived. Jennifer infused craft projects with her own artistic flair; including mosaic tile art, dried floral arrangements, wood carving and photo collages. Jennifer loved all animals but most recently her horse, Oreo and her black cat, Midnight. She had a charismatic and effervescent personality that drew people to her. With her petite size, whimsical spontaneity, mischievous nature, and tendency to leave a glittering trail, Jen would easily inspire an impression of a mercurial fae.
