A graveside service will be held Thursday, September 11th at 3:00 p.m. in Oakwood Cemetery in Sheffield with good friend, Ronnie Pannell officiating. A memorial celebration is being planned and will be announced at a later date.

Steve was a friend to many and a stranger to none. All who met him felt they had just met a new, old friend. Steve was a loving son, a musician, a writer, a lover and collector of all art forms, and a welcoming spirit. He was proud to be a son of Sheffield, Alabama. As the face of Another Man’s Treasure, Calico’s, The Fillin’ Station, The Ritz Theatre, and The Shoals Theatre, it is hard to find someone who did not know Steve Price.

Steve proudly graduated from Sheffield High School with the class of 1972, attended the University of Alabama, and graduated from the University of North Alabama where he wrote for the Flor-Ala. For the past 12 years Steve was the manager and welcoming face of The Shoals Theatre. He championed Muscle Shoals music and all of performing arts in our area.

Steve’s friends and family would like to thank Dr. John Richardson, Nurse Practitioner Sara Murphy and Nurse DanielMatchen, along with all doctors, nurses and staff of Grandview Hospital CICU for their loving care of Steve. It was not a surprise that they became like family in their love for Steve. We would also like to thank Earl McGuire for being the friend we all need this past year. Earl, Bart Kirchler, and the “coffee group” took good care of Steve and kept all the friends aware of his journey. To honor Steve, you may make a donation to Colbert County Animal Shelter or The Shoals Theatre in his name.

In Steve’s memory please enjoy a sunset, hug your mother and friends, listen to live music, watch a play, pet a dog, laughloudly and often. It’s what Steve Price would do. Jus’ sayin’.

She loved the Lord and his word. Among her education pursuits were a year at Abilene Christian University studying the Bible. She served others. She loved the Bible; she loved the church. She served many congregations of God’s people. She did so with a loving and Christ like spirit. She taught many Bible classes, and she lived the life.

Her family was close. She loved her sisters Donna King and Andrea Palmer, her brother Monte, and Tina Burleson. Aaron was a special nephew. She was preceded in death by her parents Don and Margaret Burleson and her brother Anthony. She would have been married 53 years November 3.

She had home health care and hospice the last four years. Thank each one of you for what you do. Her Medicare has covered everything. These four years have been a special blessing in so many ways. Nurse Jamie has been a blessing to have serving her mother. And for those who have lived with her through these times Gene, Madison, Jamie, Russell, Zeke, and Kelsey special thoughts. And to all who loved her.

One blessing of going on a journey as this is just to see how good, nice, and generous people are. If you are not part of a church, you should be.
