PITTSBURG —
Norma Lee Seifert, age 87, of Pittsburg, Kansas, died Sunday, May 20, 2012, at Sterling House in Neenah, Wisconsin, after a short illness. She was born June 17, 1924, in Pittsburg at her Grandmother’s house on Rouse Street to the late Roy Epple and Emma (Kent) Epple. Norma attended the Eugene Fields and the Roosevelt Junior High Schools in Pittsburg. On June 21, 1941, she married George Seifert of Pittsburg at the courthouse in Lamar, Missouri, with their mothers and one sister in attendance. They celebrated their marriage with twenty five cents spent for five glasses of Pepsi at Shelton Cafe across the street.
In 1954 George and Norma moved from Pittsburg to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and lived there on 70th Street for 20 years. They enjoyed vacationing at resorts in Northern Wisconsin and in Canada and camping and hiking with their son and grandchildren. Twenty years later they moved back to Pittsburg and built a new home on Free Kings Highway which they enjoyed to the fullest. Everyday they went for long walks and enjoyed getting to know their neighbors. Norma was a life-long member of the Pittsburg Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
