Robert F. Steffenhagen
May 26, 1924 — July 15, 2012
Robert Frederick Steffenhagen, 88, of Red Wing, died Sunday, July 15, 2012 at the Seminary Home. He was born May 26, 1924 in Red Wing, to Charles and Lillian (Bremer) Steffenhagen. He grew up in Frontenac on the Hill Avenue family farm and attended country school. On December 22, 1943, he married Dorothy DeRoy at St. John's Lutheran Church, Frontenac and they farmed on Hill Avenue. During the 1950's he helped out at the turkey farm in Frontenac and he also worked at Durkee Atwood for 30 years, retiring in 1989. In 1986, he and Dorothy moved to Red Wing. In their younger years, they enjoyed dancing, playing cards and listening to old time music. Dorothy died in 1990. Growing up on a farm, Robert grew to love horses and tractors, something that he enjoyed his entire life. As he grew older, he could often be found with the remote in his hand, enjoying a television show--especially if it was a western.
He is survived by his children, Darrell (Carole) Steffenhagen of Red Wing, Barbara (Myron) Hanson of Eagan, Norma (Michael) Nemeth of Red Wing, Linda (Jerry) McNamara of Pine Island and Debra Steffenhagen of Windsor, Calif.; 13 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by 3 children, Charlie, Peggy and Jeffrey; his wife, Dorothy and 2 brothers, Elmer and Roy.
