What is a Steele Magnolia?

What is a Steele Magnolia?

     In her heart of hearts, she is a Southern Belle.  Now her people may have very well been pioneers settling the frontier.  They may have come over on a boat not too long ago, or they may have been sharecroppers and known nothing but hot, hungry, and miserable all their days.  Be that as it may, a Steele Magnolia starts as a Southern Belle- a young girl who is proud of her heritage, minds her manners, and puts her best face forward no matter what.

     Now you take this Southern Belle and put her through generations of war, poverty, hard work, and heartbreak.  What you get is a Steele Magnolia.  You see, we women carry through- our momma’s strength and love, our granny’s devotion and tenacity.  All these are passed down.  For generations, the fire keeps burning and melding us into amazing women of beauty, perseverance, and love.

     A Steele Magnolia is a woman so soft and sentimental that she cherishes the simplest things in life- her garden, the sunset, her momma's time, the pictures which her children drew years ago.  She keeps these things and holds the memories in her heart.

     A Steele Magnolia is a woman with iron in her veins who will straighten you out in a minute then hug you when it’s over.  She loves from the depths of her soul.  She pours out all that she is for those in her life.

    She is a force to be reckoned with, a sight to behold, and a treasure to be cherished.
