Seichter, Arlene L. (5 OCT 1932 – 24 SEP 2019)
Arlene L. Seichter, 86, of Boyd, passed away on Tuesday, September 24, 2019,
at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, WI. Arlene was born on October 5,
1932, in Thorp, Wisconsin to the late Sidney and Louise (Anton) Alger. She
grew up in the Thorp area and attended local schools. Arlene married Norbert
Seichter at St. Joseph's (Catholic Church in Boyd on October 14, 1953.
Arlene's first job outside of helping on her parents' farm land helping care
for her younger siblings, was at the Thorp Dairy Bar where she met the love
of her life, Norbert. Arlene and Norb made many happy memories during the
time they ran the Shell station in Cadott, early in their marriage. Arlene
chose farming as their next adventure. She was a very hard worker and loved
her life of farming and raising her children in that environment. She was a
wonderful vegetable gardener, growing and harvesting a bounty of food for
her family, even up until the last couple of years. After Arlene retired
from farming, she worked at the Express Mart in Stanley for many years and
enjoyed her regular customers of whom many became friends.
Arlene's faith in God was central to how she lived her life, always doing
for others in their time of need. She was a truly selfless person who
thought only of others, often-times at the expense of her own health and
well-being.
Grandma was most beloved by her children and grandchildren, always taking
time to prepare wonderful meals when she knew they would be coming to visit.
She was a wonderful cook and made her world-famous potato salad and coleslaw
for all the family gatherings. Amidst all of her hard work and her busy
life, she always took time to host many bridal and baby showers throughout
the years. Her unique sayings fondly referred to as "Grandma-ismsi", always
kept her grandchildren entertained because they never knew what she was
going to come up with next.
Arlene is survived by her loving husband, Norbert, of Boyd; her children:
Ray (RoseAnn), Roger (Nancy) both of Boyd, Jody (Greg) Smoczyk of Chippewa
Falls, Michelle (Steve) Grabowski of Coon Valley; her grandchildren: Tracy
(Jared), Justin (Kerri), Mandy (Joel), Adam, Nicole, Gregor (Megan), Mark
(Abby), Christopher (Katelyn), Ryan (Amanda), Chad, Lucas (Connor) and
Michaela; her great-grandchildren: Henry, Lillian, Isaac, Chad, Katie,
Griffin, Calvin, Lyrick, Carter, Trey, Chase and Seryia; her sisters: Joanie
Ruff, Jeanie Stelter of Milwaukee, Carol (Dave) Teclaw of Excelsior, MN; her
brother, Gerry (Sue) Alger of Mukwonago, WI. She is preceded in death by her
brothers: Sid Jr., Jack, Dick, Kenny, Bill; and a sister, Sandee.
A funeral Mass was held Monday, September 30th at 10:30 a.m. at St. Joseph's
Catholic Church, Boyd, with Father William Felix officiating. Visitation was
from 4:00 until 8:00 p.m. on Sunday at the Plombon Funeral Home, Stanley,
