Betty Ruth Arnold Steele

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Betty Ruth Arnold Steele 92, of Wilton died at home on Saturday evening, June 18, surrounded peacefully by her loving daughter Cindy, husband Bruce, sister Agnes, and her adored care givers Amy Breault and Delora Wooding. Betty was born August 25, 1923 in Saratoga Springs. She attended Saratoga Springs High School and worked for Van Raalte Textile Mill for several years. She married her love of her life, Bruce Steele, September 10, 1950. After having her daughter Cindy, she became a homemaker. For many years she enjoyed taking family vacations all over the states and long country rides with her husband Bruce. She enjoyed reading, participating in the Katrina Trask Garden Club with her beloved best friend Jane Klein, shopping, cooking and baking. She made all holidays very special for everyone. One of her favorite things to do would be to visit with her furry grandchildren Bri, Bella and Bodie. Most of all she will be remembered for her beautiful smile and her smart mouth! Betty is survived by her husband Bruce, her daughter Cindy and adored son-in-law Joe Mirra (as Betty would say, ‘My Boyfriend’), and her sister Agnes Guild. She also leaves behind her loving caregivers Amy, Delora and Beth. Betty was predeceased by her parents Sara and John Arnold and her loving sister Kathleen. A celebration of life service was held in honor of Betty on Wednesday, June 22, 2016, at Compassionate Funeral Care, 402 Maple Ave. in Saratoga Springs. Following the service, friends and relatives were invited to join the family for further fellowship at the home of Betty Steele. In lieu of flowers, Betty’s family asks that donations in her honor be made to SPCA of Upstate NY, 588 Queensbury Ave, Queensbury, NY 12804.
