Mary Christine Steinwedel

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Christine Steinwedel, age 76, on July 3, 2026, in Sellersburg, Indiana. Raised in Southern Indiana, Christine lived a life centered on faith, family, and caring for others.

A devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, Christine was known for her selflessness, strength, kindness, humor, and generosity. She worked as a beautician and later alongside her husband, Bill, in his dental practice. Of all her accomplishments, her greatest joy was being a mother to her three daughters.

Christine enjoyed landscaping, sewing, exploring creeks, spending time in the outdoors,and taking walks with family and friends. A faithful member of Grace Lutheran Church in New Albany, her faith provided comfort, purpose, and community throughout her life.

Christine was preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Margaret Schindler; her father- and mother-in-law, William and Bebe Steinwedel; her brothers, Richard and Joe Schindler; and her sisters, Carolyn Ernstberger and Dottie Lampe.

She is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, William T. Steinwedel; her daughters, Amy Steinwedel Dahlke, Erin Steinwedel, and Tara Steinwedel Conley; her grandsons, Logan and Gavin Dahlke; her sisters, Margaret White, Marilyn Jackson, and Lori Fenster; her brothers, Lawrence Schindler, Martin Schindler, and Michael Schindler; and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and friends.

Christine's legacy of love, compassion, and devotion to family will live on in all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Visitation will be held Tuesday, July 7th, 3:00pm to 7:00pm, and on Wednesday July 8th, 9:30am to11:00am, with a service to follow at Grace Lutheran 1787 Klerner Lane, New Albany IN, 47150. Interment will follow at Greenlawn Cemetery.
