DOVER - Patricia Moffett Seitzer passed away Friday, March 15, 2019.
Patty Seitzer was born on Aug. 3, 1930 to Jesse Woodall Moffett and Margaret Sanders Moffett in Ardmore, PA.
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, William Bruce Seitzer, Sr. He was affectionately called "Seitz." They met while attending Penn State and were married for over 50 years. They enjoyed big band music, socializing with friends and their children and grandchildren. They retired in Chestertown, Md. where generations of her family have lived.
Patty taught 2nd grade prior to getting married. She was a stay at home mom and raised four children. She loved babies, dogs, gardening, needlework, her grandchildren and decorating for every season. After the children were grown she worked in a library and was a museum guide. She adored her grandchildren. Patty had a great sense of humor, was kind hearted and had a way with words.
