Edith Asmer Obituary
January 15, 1938 - October 30, 2021
Columbia, South Carolina - Edith Seay Asmer, 83, of Columbia, passed away on Saturday, October 30, 2021. Born on January 15, 1938, in Winnsboro, SC. She was the daughter of the late Jacob Henry Seay and Pearl (Parker) Seay.
Edee grew up in Lexington, SC. It was in Lexington where she met the love of her life, Dr. Peter F. Asmer Sr. They married in 1962 in Columbia, SC where they made their home. She attended the University of South Carolina and had a love for teaching dance and tap lessons. She was an avid Gamecock fan and loved watching football games with friends and family. Edee was a devout member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Columbia where she was an active member of the Women's Society. She was a gracious southern lady whose heart and home were always open to friends and family. She took great pride in making her home a place for all to gather for holidays and social events where everyone loved her cooking. Her Lebanese dishes were among the favorites of all who came to her home. Nothing brought her more joy and happiness than to see her children and grandchildren sitting around her table enjoying a big meal during holidays and other joyous occasions. Edee devoted her life to her husband, her family, her church and all of her many friends that became part of her now celebrated life.
Survivors include sons, Peter Fredrick Asmer Jr. (Camille), Paul Jude Asmer Sr. (Jill), Mark Christian Asmer Sr. (Niurka), and Michael Seay Asmer; grandchildren, Peter, Dabney, Jacob, Marlee, Jude, Priya, Mark, Nicolas; and sister, Beulah Mae Glover.
