Thomas Seibert Obituary
Jeromesvillle – Thomas D. Seibert
Tom was born September 6, 1929 and passed away after a blessed and fulfilled life of 89 years due to an extended illness. He was born to Bruce M. and Edna (Wertz) Seibert on the Wertz family farm located in Funk, Ohio. Being born in the Great Depression presented its own challenges but he found faith and strength in his Lord Jesus Christ, family and friends.
His passion in life was driving truck and he began by working with his father at the Ashland County Highway Department. Later he drove truck for J.W. Kyler, Whitaker Merle Company and Teamsters Local 40. He finished his driving retiring from Automatic Welding and Manufacturing. Tom’s greatest enjoyment was creating memories through conversations with family, friends and people of all walks of life.
He married Sara Selvage on February 12, 1966; they spent their 53-years of married life together in the Jeromesville area recently moving to Wooster due to declining health.
He is survived by wife Sara, sons Bruce and (Staci) Seibert - Wooster, Tim and (Debbie) Seibert – Wooster, daughter Tammy Nation – Greeley, CO. and Son-in-law Randy Shriver of Jeromesville. Brother Ted Seibert and fiancée (Nancy Harris) of Ashland, Sisters Judy and (John) James and Janet Shopbell both of Ashland.
