Irma Ann Reisenauer Seaberg

Irma Ann Reisenauer Seaberg passed away on Wednesday, September 11th after a long illness. She was 80 years old. Ann was born on December 10, 1938 in Sparta, WI, was raised in Tomah, Wisconsin and graduated from Tomah High School in 1956. From there she went to school at the (Methodist) Kahler Hospitals School of Nursing in Rochester Minnesota, graduating in 1959. She married David Seaberg (from Wesley, Iowa) on September 23, 1961 in Rochester, MN. She is preceded in death by her parents, Albert H. and Irma Taft Reisenauer , and her sisters Mary Ellen (Reisenauer) Sagehorn and Barbara Sue (Reisenauer) Smith. She is survived by her husband David, daughters Siri Seaberg (Mark) Carius of Coal Valley, IL and Kristin Seaberg (David) Bachenheimer of Shrub Oak, NY, and grandchildren David Carius and Marissa Carius, and many nieces and nephews. Ann and David shared a long, happy life together, raising two daughters and having many adventures as David’s career as a construction equipment hydraulics engineer for Case-IH took him from Charles City, IA to Burlington, IA and then 17 years in Davenport, IA where the girls spent most of their childhoods. As empty nesters, they then spent 7 years in Wausau, WI and another 7 years in Fargo, ND before David finally retired. They gratefully moved to Osprey, FL in 2001. Ann had a lifelong interest in diet and nutrition, was a voracious reader on those and many other subjects, and loved to watch old movies that she had seen in Tomah’s movie theatre as a child. She often told stories of family history. Ann enjoyed puzzles and card games and loved to play Chinese Checkers with her grandchildren, Gin Rummy with her sisters, Skip-Bo with friends, and Solitaire on her own. She appreciated nature and the outdoors, especially cherishing her walks on the beach in Siesta Key and enjoying the beautiful Florida sunsets from her kitchen. She was also very talented pianist. She played her baby grand piano nearly every day. Ann loved spending time with her family and was immensely proud of the accomplishments of her husband, children, and grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at First United Methodist Church Sarasota (www.firstsrq.com) on Monday, September 23rd at 11:00 a.m. It would have been Ann and David’s 58th wedding anniversary.
