Denise R. Steinker, age 58 of Peninsula, OH, passed away on Monday April 24, 2017, at the Hospice Care Center of Akron, OH. She was born in Erie, PA on August 5, 1958, a daughter of the late Robert E. and Betty A. Kindle Hoffman. 

 

Superheroes don’t have to wear capes or have super powers like the traditionalist view. No, superheroes can be the average person who’s committed to helping others and puts their family and friends first. Denise was in every sense of the word a superhero. She was a dedicated supporter of her children’s extracurricular activities, never missing a single event. Denise was any kind of mom you needed—regardless if you were her child or not. She was an avid community supporter, who donated her time to the Akron-Canton Foodbank and other various charities within the area. Her family would say that she was one of the best people in the entire world and that she had a heart of gold.  She loved to travel, go on vacation with friends and family, attend concerts and was the life of the party. Her smile was contagious and as soon as she walked in the room with a giant “HELLO!” you knew you were in the presence of someone special. She was a devoted wife, mother, friend and family-member. Denise had a great sense of humor that was full of wit and was beautiful both inside and out. Her time here may have come to an end, but the impact she has left on this world and the people she has encountered remains evergreen.

 

She leaves to cherish her memory, her husband of 28 years Thomas A. Steinker; their two daughters, Emma M. Steinker and Hanna E. Steinker all of Peninsula, OH; one sister, Diane (Robert) Banks of Erie; one brother, Douglas (Ronald Stach) Hoffman of Lakewood, OH and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. 

 

Friends may call at the Dusckas-Martin Funeral Home & Crematory Inc. 4216 Sterrettania Erie, PA 16506 on Thursday evening from 5:00 to 8:00 PM, and are invited to a prayer service there on Friday morning at 10:00 AM followed by a Funeral Mass at St. Luke Catholic Church at 11:00 AM.  Interment will be private and held at the convenience of the family in Calvary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the MD Anderson Cancer Center 1515 Holcomb Blvd. Houston, TX 77030 or www.mdandersoncancercenter.com
