Elliott Walter Seltmann, 81, of Wake Forest, NC, passed away on Thursday, March 6, 2025.
Elliott was born on April 12, 1943 in Paterson, NJ, to the late Ruth E. Detmering and Elliott Julius Seltmann. He was a longtime resident of Ridgewood and Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ before moving to Manchester, VT and then to Wake Forest, NC. He loved the 13 years he lived in Manchester, VT, especially attending concerts at the Southern VT Arts Center. He was proud of his career and worked as a financial controller in the manufacturing industry.
Elliott was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who will be deeply missed by all his family. He will be remembered for his love of Baskin Robins ice cream, Pepsi, and Hershey bars; coaching his sons in little league baseball and basketball; trains and model railroading; classical music and his favorite composers: Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, and Dvorak. He was an avid Duke basketball and NY Yankees fan, and investor in gold and silver coins.
He is survived by his loving wife Judy Seltmann; sons, Don (Laura) Seltmann and Jeff (Kathryn) Seltmann; and granddaughters, Emily, Nicole, and Megan.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Wake County Animal Center, 820 Beacon Lake Drive, Raleigh, NC 27610
