Obituary for Phillip E. Steiner, Jr.
On the morning of September 23, 2021, Phillip E. Steiner Jr., 75, of Warwick passed away peacefully at HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center. He was the beloved husband of Donna L. (Quinlan) Steiner and the son of the late Phillip E. and Beatrice (Jacobellis) Steiner.
Born in Providence, Phillip was a lifelong Rhode Island resident. He graduated from Veteran’s Memorial High School in 1964 and Providence College in 1969. Prior to his retirement in 2008, Phillip worked tirelessly to improve the lives of children as a Casework Supervisor for The Department of Children, Youth and Families. After retirement, he devoted his time to caring for his wife.
In addition to Donna, his wife of more than 50 years, Phillip is survived by his two children, Zoe R. (Steiner) McGrath and husband Andrew of West Greenwich and Todd J. Steiner of Providence; three sisters Nancy (Steiner) Gizzarelli and husband Gilbert, Barbara (Steiner) Bekier and husband Chester and Jane Steiner; two grandchildren that he adored, Emerson Grace and Jack Henry, and many beloved extended family, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Phillip was kind, loving, and funny, he loved music, especially 70’s disco, gardening, and a challenging crossword puzzle, he was an amazing cook, and always had a story to tell. He will be missed by all who knew him.
