January 25, 1932 — June 29, 2007
Munising
Sally C. Steinhoff, age 75, of 1208 Commercial Street, Munising, died at her home with her family surrounding her on Friday, June 29, 2007 at 2:02 a.m. She was born in Manistique, Michigan on January 25, 1932, to the late Andrew and Alice (nee Tidd) Soukup. Sally and her family moved to Munising where she attended Sacred Heart School, and graduated from William G. Mather in 1949, and then graduated from Clarey College of Business. After college she worked for the Willow Run School District, in Ypsilanti, Michigan. When Sally moved back she worked for Munising Woodenware. On July 31, 1954 she married Chum Steinhoff. Sally would tell the story about how she had to sell her Model A so that she could buy her wedding dress. In 1964 Sally and Chum opened their Ski-Doo Shop. Sally was the manager of the shop and a proud sponsor of the Munising TNT Racing Team. She always looked forward to fall so that she and Chum could go on their Saturday bird hunting trips. Sally enjoyed traveling all over the United States and Canada, but one of her favorite places to visit was Cusino Lake Campground. She and Chum spent their time there with the Hill and Burke families at what they liked to call "Camp Burkhillstein." Sally had amazing artistic and carpentry talents, she was always refinishing furniture. She loved animals of all kinds, her cats and dogs she had inside, and the ducks and chipmunks she fed outside. Sally was a great cook who enjoyed cooking old fashioned meals for her family. Her holiday tables were impeccably decorated with unique and special touches on each place setting. Sally loved being around people especially her family, and was an inspiration to all of them.
Sally is survived by her husband of over fifty-two years - Chum Steinhoff; daughter - Kim (Tom) Graves; son - Scott (Patty) Steinhoff; grandchildren - Donielle and Andrea Graves, Les Rochefort III, Talon Winfield Steinhoff and Michael Joseph Steinhoff; brothers and sisters-in-law - Dorothy and Bill Cox Jr., Gerald "Pug" and Carol Steinhoff, Joe Haro; niece - Donna Kolbus; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents - Andrew and Alice; sister - Patricia Soukup; in-laws - Pat Kochis-Haro, and Pete Kochis; aunt and uncle - Don and Mildred Evans.
