Overview
The VanSteenkiste-Amador Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the life, legacy, and tenacious spirit of Ronnie VanSteenkiste-Amador, a 2016 Blissfield High School graduate who died in an automobile crash in 2022. Ronnie was a first-generation college student who worked multiple jobs to fund her studies in exercise science at Adrian College and was a dedicated softball player and coach at Blissfield. Founded by her close friend Brooke Pickles, the scholarship fund is primarily supported by an annual memorial softball tournament and was also established in memory of the broader VanSteenkiste and Amador families to support students in the Lenawee County community.
