Eleanor Morford Steptoe 2025 Highmore Health Snow Queen!!

Eleanor Morford Steptoe was born to Ed and Ada (Benson) Fawcett on 3/13/1933 near Ree Heights, SD. The March color of aquamarine is her favorite color! Growing up with 5 brothers, her being the 2nd oldest, she most certainly spent a lot of time in the kitchen helping her mom cook meals and wash dishes. Her favorite childhood memory was riding to the sale barn with her dad in the cattle truck, and eating a hot beef combo meal with NO BROTHERS.
She enjoyed her time growing up in the Green Valley, south of Ree Heights, and has fond and cherished memories of the Cedar Church, where congregants were not only friends, but many were family.
As a farm wife and mother, Eleanor raised son, Keith, and daughter, JoAnn, while actively being involved with Sunday School and 4-H. She taught Sunday School at the Highmore Methodist Church and helped her husband manage cattle, sheep, and pigs on the farm. She loved her farm cats and couldn’t watch a tv show without knitting or crocheting a treasured heirloom of some kind.
When her children were in country school, Eleanor taught Home Economics classes in Highmore and lastly, at Crow Creek Tribal School, Stephan. In 1963, Eleanor was recognized as an “Outstanding Young Woman of America” by Hyde County Women’s Home Demonstration Club. Being an accomplished seamstress, Eleanor sewed JoAnn’s gown for the Highmore Snow Queen in 1975.
Eleanor was widowed at age 45, when her first husband, Darrell Morford, passed unexpectedly.
In 1979, Eleanor married Don Steptoe. They were dedicated members of the Order of Eastern Star where she served as Worthy Grand Matron of SD in 1998 and 1999.
Eleanor was a superb hostess of many family holiday dinners and family reunions. She treasured, studied, preserved and shared her family genealogy. The “Tree of Life” was important to her, her whole life. She loved hearing the rustling of the tree branches and leaves when the wind blew, and seeing the many clouds, colorful skies, and flight of the birds on the wide-open prairie.
Eleanor deeply enjoys and loves her family: Keith and JoAnn (Roger), Judy Morford, treasured 3 grandchildren and their spouses, and her 9 great-grandchildren.
Steadfast servant, loving wife and mother, dutiful homemaker and dedicated educator! Eleanor gives witness to her God by living the fruits of the Sprit.
With a chuckle, she often quips, “Life’s a mystery!” And indeed Eleanor, it is a mystery!
