SEIBEL, Tillie
March 28, 1920 – April 7, 2012
Tillie Seibel went to be with her Lord and Savior, on April 7, 2012 at the age of 92. Tillie was born in Greenway, North Dakota on March 28, 1920. She was one of 19 children born to Christian and Christina Bertsch. The Bertsch family moved from North Dakota to a farm near Carbon in 1929, where they attended Humbolt School and the Zion Baptist Church. In 1938, Tillie married Elmer Seibel and they had one son, Marvin. Elmer and Tillie spent most of their early years in the Drumheller area, where they owned a machinery dealership and a service station. Tillie also worked in many retail outlets which included Aero Lunch, Brown’s Men’s Clothier and the Saan Store. They attended the First Baptist Church where she sang in the choir and was involved in other ministries of the church. They moved to Stettler in 1977, where Tillie worked at Lou’s Fashions for many years, and where they attended the Stettler Baptist Church. In 1987, they moved to Red Deer to be near their son Marvin, daughter-in-law Marion and the grandchildren, Troy, Chad, David, Tracey and Alexandrea. Here, they attended the Bethany Baptist Church and gained many new friends. Tillie was predeceased by her husband Elmer of sixty years, granddaughter Jodie Marie, her father and mother, and 18 brothers and sisters. Tillie’s move into the Pine Lodge was a difficult move for her but she soon became familiar with the residents and was well cared for and loved by the staff. Tillie will be missed by her family and friends. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, April 13, 2012 at the Living Stones Church, 2020 – 40th Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Tillie’s memory may be made directly to the Gideons International in Canada, 501 Imperial Road North, Guelph , Ontario N1H 7A2.
