In memoriam: Funeral notices, June 7, 2022

Reiter, Steven R.

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Steven Robert Reiter on May 26, 2022.

Steven was born on May 16, 1963 in Glendale, California to Gretchen & Francis Reiter. He was their 4th child and was his mom's "bundle of joy".

He grew up in Placentia, Ca., and went to Valencia High School. Steve participated in water polo & threw discus and shot put for the Track & Field team. He was also a proud Eagle Scout.

Steve graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo majoring in industrial engineering. While there, he met his bride, Marilyn Kind. They married in 1994 and just celebrated 28 years together. They have a beautiful daughter, Taylor, who was the apple of her daddy's eye.

Steve worked at Raytheon and was Executive Director - Naval Power. He began and ended his 35 years with the same company.

Steve loved traveling with his family. He especially enjoyed traveling to watch Taylor play volleyball for Northeastern University. Traveling to Lake Tahoe was also a favorite place for him from childhood. He went there every summer where he enjoyed boating, hiking, and BBQ-ing with his family and friends.

His hobbies included scuba diving and perfecting his pulled pork recipe in his smoker.

Steve passed away unexpectedly while on business in Boston on May 26, 2022. He is survived by his wife, Marilyn, daughter Taylor, his parents, Gretchen & Fran Reiter, his siblings, Francis, Karl and Lisa along with many nieces and nephews, and extended family.

He was a wonderful man who enjoyed life to the fullest. He was the first person to help his family or friends in whatever they needed without being asked. Contributions to his memory may be made to the American Heart Association.

His service is at Tanque Verde Lutheran Church, June 11 at 2:30 p.m. Arrangements by Adair Dodge Chapel.

Stewart, Mary E.

Mary E. Stewart (née Critchley) of Benson, Arizona died of natural causes on May 29, 2022 at Peppi's House in Tucson, Arizona. She is survived by her one and only sweetheart and husband of 57 years, Robert J. Stewart, her three children and five grandchildren. Memorial services will be announced at a later date.

Mary grew up in Douglas, Arizona in a big family; she was one of six children. The Critchleys were a well known family in southeast Arizona, and they ran the city swimming pool in Douglas. Mary was a good student who won spelling bees and attended Girls State. She graduated from Salpointe High School in Tucson and briefly attended nurses' training before marrying in 1965.

Once her children went to school, Mary worked at various jobs, usually involving keeping track of money and payments. She worked at a bank for a time and later worked in customer service and sales for Sulphur Springs Valley Electrical Co-op in Sierra Vista, Arizona.

Mary was very good at managing money which was a big benefit to her family. Education and learning were among her highest priorities for her children and she always made sure they could get access to it. Mary loved to read and learn new things. She loved music. She was career driven, meaning it was her family that was her career.

Mary was not a risk taker but she was always willing to go out of her comfort zone when it came to family. Her health was often challenging but she did her best not to let it get in the way of the small pleasures of life and her relationships with her family.

In her later years, Mary became an avid and expert genealogist with the help of her brother Bill. She has left behind a treasure trove of information for generations to come. Her family will maintain this legacy.

Throughout her life, the strongest theme was family. Mary was a very private person and stronger than most people realized. She was always very clear on her values and what mattered to her. She will be sorely missed.

Mary took comfort in her religious beliefs throughout her life. If you're a praying person, please offer up a prayer for her as this is what she would appreciate most at this time. Celebrate her with music and food, two of her favorite things. Arrangements by Sensible Cremations.
