Mary Seifert
November 8, 1923 — January 20, 2013
Mary Seifert, 89, of Evansville, formerly of Barrett, died Sunday, January 20, 2013, at the Evansville Care Center.
Mary Anna Seifert, daughter of Otto and Mable (Freeman) Seifert, was born November 8, 1923. In 1927 she moved with her family to Barrett. Mary was confirmed at the Lien Church.
Mary attended school in Districts 32 & 14 in Grant County, secondary in Barrett and High School in Glenwood graduating in 1946. Mary taught in the rural schools of Minnesota until she graduated in elementary education in 1952. Her first job as a teacher was at Wheaton MN. She taught second grade for four years then moved to Campbell-Tintah and taught second grade until she retired in 1988.
Mary was a member of Peace Lutheran Church of Barrett. Her faith was important to her and she showed it by the numerous acts of kindness and willingness to lend a helping hand to all.
Mary never let grass grow under her feet and was always busy with her hobbies: quilting, her love of flowers and her perennial flower garden, puzzles, daily walks, and meeting up with her friends for coffee in the morning. She was a volunteer driver for the Grant County Committee of Aging. In 1999 she and her brother, Art, were honored as outstanding Senior Citizens in Grant County, which earned them a trip to the Minnesota State Fair.
Mary is survived by her sister Arlene Ohren of Evansville; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother Art Seifert, one sister Martha Dahlseng, an infant brother and sister, sister-in-law, Sharron Siefert and brothers-in-law, Maynard Dahlseng and Lowell Ohren.
