Mary S. Seipel

Mary was my roommate at OSU our Junior/Senior year.. I had been trying to reconnect with her the past few years.. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing.. We didn't have much time together but her friendship and kind heart will remain in my memory forever..

Mrs. Seipel was my teacher at westgate many years ago. I was with my daughter doing a project and thought of her and westgate, so I looked her up. She was an amazing teacher who I have told my children about. My prayers to her family. She will be sadly missed.

As I am watching the OSU game tonight I ran to grab the scarlet and gray afghan Mary made for my wedding gift. She was my roommate her Freshman year and a bridesmaid in my wedding. We lost contact for many years and just decided to look her up and am so sorry to hear. She holds a very dear place in my heart and was a wonderful friend.

Dear Kelly and Family

May the memories you created together bring you comfort and peace as you traverse this lonely abyss. With time, may your memories provide solace and satisfaction in the times you shared together.

Our condolences at this very difficult time. Know that you are in our thoughts

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kelly and boys,
Ardie and I are so sad to hear about Mary's passing. It was a privilege to know and work with her. We shared many laughs when we worked together to Westgate. We will keep your family in our prayers.

Dear Kelly and boys,
Mary was such a positive force in my life when I began teaching at Westgate. We team taught a fifth grade class for a year; it was a wonderful experience. She was always upbeat and so much fun. Her personality lit up any room. You are all in my thoughts.

Despite not actually having her as my teacher, Mary kept up with me for many years, often through contact with my mother. What a phenomenal women she was. She truly left her mark on the many lives she touched. May God bless her and provide his peace to her family.

I'm so sorry to hear this sad new. What a great person and wonderful role model for a courageous fight! I remember her as a caring, energetic Westgate teacher. Her absence will leave a big hole in our hearts. Pam Long

Dear Kelly and boys, our prayers and heartfelt sympathy go out to you at this time. Mary was such a kind, strong person with a smile always on her face. Heaven has surely received a wonderful angel.

Kelly, Joey, Nickel & Robbie,
My heart goes out to all of you. I'm so sorry - I know her love for you all was big enough to last all of your lifetimes - but I know how much she will be missed. I will never forget her.
My deepest sympathy,
Kate Marion McQuillan
OSU Roommate

I worked with Mary for many years at Binns and Stockbridge. Mrs. Wilcox and I were lucky enough to have all 3 of her boys in Kindergarten. She will be greatly missed.

I had the pleasure of teaching with Mary at Westgate. She was a fantastic teacher and such a fun and caring person. She touched the lives of so many people and the world is better for it. Her strength and courage set examples for us all. May she rest in peace.

I remember my safety patrol days with her. This news breaks my heart. She is one teacher I will never forget.

Mrs. Seipel was my 5th grade teacher at Westgate. Even after junior high, high school and college she always remained my favorite. Her caring attitude, giving heart and beautiful smile left a lasting impression on me all of these years. I only hope my son is lucky enough to have a teacher like her one day. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. God has certainly called home an angel.

One would be hard pressed to find a better teacher and person than Mary. I had the privilege of working with Mary when I was the principal at Binns ES. She was a true master teacher. She always kept such a positive attitude and had a smile and laugh that was infectious. My condolences to her family who she loved fiercely. Heaven just became a little brighter. Much love Mary...

Dear Kelly & sons, we are deeply saddened by the news of Mary's passing. She was such a wonderful & kind person to us always. We are grateful to have known her. We pray for her soul, may she rest in peace. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Sincerely,
Regina, Brian, & Dominic Lewis

She was the one teacher that I absolutely will never forget. She changed my life and will always be in my memories.

Such a warm, kind, and energetic soul. Her smile and fun loving spirit were contagious. She shared many happy times with my parents, Jan and Steve Stone, over the years early in her career. Our prayers are with the family.

My heart and prayers go out to the entire family. While I never had the pleasure of meeting Mary, it sounds like heaven has gained an amazing angel.

A lovely, cheerful woman with a wonderful family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

I will always remember Mary for her kindness even when she was going through so much.

She was my 5th grade teacher at Westgate. She was great. She was sweet. She made going to school fun. She will be missed. May she Rest In Peace.

I was saddened to hear Mary took a turn for the worse. She was such an inspiration to me. I will treasure our dinners at carrabbas, and feel so fortunate she asked me to meet her a few months ago to hand deliver her 'ABC's of Cancer' book. I'm honored to have received a copy, and even more honored to call Mary my friend....very proud of her for completing something so near and dear to her. She was a special lady who my sister and i adored. Prayers and hugs to Kelly, the boys and family.

I worked as a custodian with Mary @ Binn's years ago She was such a bright smiling face and such a nice person to work with always a smile ...

Mrs. Seipel was my 5th grade teacher at Westgate, I adored her beautiful smile and warm caring heart. I will never forget what a wonderful person she was. I was always so grateful when she emailed me on my birthday every year and sent me Christmas cards. My prayers are with you Kelly and family.

I worked with Mary at Eakin Elementary. In many ways, Mary was my hero. She always had a positive attitude and giving spirit. I loved her very much and will miss her dearly. My prayers are with Mary's family and countless friends.
