Josephine Louise Seyfert, of Wellington, Kansas passed away on March 10, 2025 at the age of 68.
Josephine was born the daughter of Domingo Sr. and Rosa (Delgado) Perez on November 17, 1956 in Wellington, Kansas.
Josephine, affectionately known by friends and family as "Bo," was a beacon of warmth and love in every life she touched. Bo's zest for life was infectious, her courage inspiring, and her generosity knew no bounds. Her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were the most cherished people in her life and she made sure they knew that. Bo was married to Maximino Zavala Sr. with whom she had 4 children. She then later was remarried to Lonnie Seyfert with whom she had 3 children.
Bo's heart was as expansive as her love for travel. She was often found exploring the beauty of the world and visiting bowling alleys near and far, an activity she thoroughly enjoyed. Her love for children was evident in her career as a food service worker at Lincoln Elementary School, where she was dearly known as Miss. Bo. Her culinary skills were also treasured at home, where she cooked for her beloved family and shared countless meals filled with laughter and love. Bo's nurturing spirit went beyond her own family as she extended her home and became a foster parent, providing a warm, loving environment for three children.
