The legacy Teddy leaves behind cannot be measured by buildings, programs, or titles. It lives in every life reclaimed from addiction, every family reunited, every child who gained a healthier parent, and every person who now walks in freedom because Teddy chose to answer a calling greater than herself.
Her influence will continue through The ROCC, ASCENT Recovery Residences, the recovery community she helped build, and the many people who will carry her compassion forward.
While her absence is deeply felt, her life’s work continues to speak. Teddy proved that one person, surrendered to a purpose and filled with compassion, can change countless lives.
If you would like to honor Teddy’s life and continue the mission she dedicated herself to, we invite you to make a memorial donation. Your gift will help carry forward her vision of bringing hope, healing, and recovery to individuals and families impacted by addiction. A link to donate in Teddy’s memory can be found below.
Rest well, Teddy. Your race has been run faithfully, your work has made an eternal difference, and your legacy will continue in every life transformed because you chose to love, to serve, and to believe.

MEMO: Teddy Steen Memorial
Organized by Ascent Recovery Residences Inc
At ASCENT, we believe every man deserves a chance to rise above his past and build a future he’s proud of. That’s why we created a faith-based environment, a place filled not just with beds and walls, but with hope, structure, and second chances.
We have men who walk through the doors burdened by addiction, fear, and the belief that they’ve run out of options. Every day, we see those same men begin to rebuild themselves, piece by piece, through integrity, self-discipline, hard work, and a renewed sense of purpose. With guidance, accountability, and a community that refuses to give up on them, they learn how to become productive, confident members of society.
This program helps to reshape the hearts and futures of these men so they can return to their children, partners, families, and communities with strength, honesty, and love. They are given the tools to develop respect for themselves and others, build healthy relationships, gain vocational skills, and foster a work ethic that carries them forward long after they leave our home.
ASCENT has recently purchased a new home to create a more home-like space for the men in their program, and their priority now is paying it off so they can continue offering a fresh start to those who need it.
Your support matters. If you’re able, please donate and share with others. Together we can create a place where hope, healing, and second chances become real.
We offer a multitude of fun and motivating classes that allow you to recover alone or with friends. Our volunteers are highly educated and will make sure you give your all.
