Stevensville – On June 30, 2015, in the early evening hours, Linda Rae Seppel, 57, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, passed peacefully from this world
Linda was born Linda Rae Stith to her parents Raymond and Virginia Stith in Oregon City, Oregon on September 2, 1957. When she was 16 the family moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin. Here as a young woman of just 17, she met and married Guy P. Seppel, a marriage that would last until her death. She had two children before she was 20, son Keith and daughter Tonya. Linda was a mother as mothers were meant to be. She was fiercely protective of her children, always ready to do anything for them. Linda taught them the skills they would need to go out in the world, the greatest of these being love. Linda became a grandmother early, and loved every minute of it. She knew every detail of the lives of her six grandchildren.
Linda was an amazing wife and dedicated friend. She enjoyed golfing, knitting, playing cards and scrabble, and taking walks with her sweet dog Aggie. Linda gave all she had to all the people in her life. Even at the end, with her passing eminent, she was only concerned with how every visitor was, and if she could get them anything. Linda lived her life the way she wanted to, with quiet dignity and passed from this world the same way.
Linda is preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Virginia Stith, her inlaws Jerry and Catherine Seppel, her sister in law Jodie Baciak, her brother in law Jim Seppel, and her nephew Jason Stith.
Linda is survived by her husband of 40 years, Guy Seppel, her children Keith Seppel (Rachael) and his two children Taylor Seppel and Evelynn Seppel, her daughter Tonya Gehlen (Nick) and her children Wyatt, Cheyenne, Mikala, and Katlyn, her brothers Dennis and Bobby Stith and family, her brothers and sister in laws and many nieces and nephews.
Linda has requested that no service be held, but instead a celebration of life, which will be planned for August 9th, 2015, in Stevensville. The time and place will be announced later. There will also be a celebration of life in Wisconsin in September. Whitesitt Funeral Home will be handling the cremation, and Linda has requested that her ashes be spread in the same place that her husband Guy wants, so that she may “pester him” forever.
