William "Bill" Harry Seibert of Lindsey passed away December 10,2025 following a long battle of cancer. He was born July 2, 1942 in Fremont the son of Homer and Esther (Avers) Seibert. On September 24, 1971, he married Ruth Ann Avers, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Elmore, Ohio.

A lifelong farmer, he was also a dedicated seed salesman for Seibert Seed Service. After farming, he worked for Yeagle Farms, and Sunrise Co-operative as a truck driver. Bill's life revolved around hard work, community, and a devotion to both the land and to those he loved.

Bill's passion for agriculture was matched only by his commitment to his community. As an active member of Faith Lutheran Church, he offered countless hours of service on numerous committees, sharing not just his time, but his kindness with all who knew him. He was also a proud member of Sandusky County Farm Bureau, and of S.C.R.A.P. where he enjoyed collecting and restoring antique tractors, a hobby that reflected his deep appreciation for the past and the craftsmanship of bygone eras. He was also a member of the Washington Twp. Zoning Board, a past member of Fremont FFA Alumni and volunteer for Sandusky County Habitat for Humanity.

Surviving is his wife of 54 years, Ruth Ann of Lindsey, Ohio, their children Judith "Judi" (John) Neill, Rebecca "Becky" (Roger) Geyman, James "Jim" (Jackie) Seibert. From a previous marriage Debra (Kevin) Skarsten and Kevin (Veronica) Seibert; many grandchildren; brother Henry (Becky) Seibert. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers-in-law Eugene Avers, David Wendt, Marvin Grau, and son-in-law Ken Klotz.
