Sandy Steers Death and Obituary Big Bear Valley Eagle

Our hearts are heavy as we share with the Friends of Big Bear Valley eagle family that Sandy Steers passed away on the evening of February 11, 2026. She was a guiding presence in this community, and her absence is deeply felt.

Additional information will be provided in the days ahead. For now, we ask for compassion and patience as our team processes this loss and supports one another in grief.

The outpouring of love has already begun. Marla Yeomans expressed, “I loved reading anything she wrote or listening to anything she said. She was very smart, extremely articulate, knowledgeable, and loved to teach us all about nature in the Big Bear area.” Leticia Porter added, “She wrote beautifully and made us feel like we were on a branch next to the nest keeping watch. It would be wonderful if her posts could be compiled into a book or blog so she will be remembered and her knowledge will continue to be shared.”

Indeed, Sandy’s writing made us feel connected—not only to the eagles, but to one another. Her legacy of education, storytelling, and love for nature will continue to inspire generations to come.
