1950-2017
John Mannschreck Seipel passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, at his home in Maryville, Missouri on October 19, 2017.
John was born in Maryville on June 28, 1950, where he lived almost his entire life. After graduating in 1968 from St. Bede’s Catholic High School, he returned home to work for Maryville Packing Plant, his family business, until it closed. He went on to work at Kawasaki for 26 years, before retiring in 2016.
John was a devout member of St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic Church. He loved doing anything and everything outside and watching sports-especially the MU Tigers, Green Bay Packers, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. But, most of all, he loved his family.
He will be remembered for his kind heart, generosity, mischievous sense of humor, and for being the most loving and devoted dad and “papa” anyone could ever wish for.
He is survived by his parents Hubert and Maryle, children Melissa Seipel (William Gerhart), Megan Ostendorf (Mike), Josh Seipel, his partner and friend Carol Owens, grandchildren Jackson, Patrick and Amelia, siblings Sandi (Dave), Dave (Rebecca), Nan (Randy), Sally (Larry), Doug (Diana) and 11 nieces and nephews.
A Mass of Christian burial will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, October 23, at St. Gregory’s Catholic Church in Maryville. Burial will follow at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery, Maryville. The family will receive friends and relatives on Sunday, October 22 at St. Gregory’s from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. A Rosary will be said at 7:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to www.pedalthecause.org/donate (The Private Bank c/o Pedal the Cause, 8410 Solutions Center Chicago, IL 60677) where 100% of the donations go directly to fund cancer research, a cause close to John and the family’s heart or St. Gregory’s School, Maryville, MO 64468.
