Seilheimer, Randy H. Vicksburg, Michigan On May 29, 2022, Randy H. Seilheimer died at home under hospice care. He was born on August 17, 1947, the son of Katherine (Rounsavall) and Harvey Seilheimer. Randy graduated from Loy Norrix High School and Western Michigan University, earning his B.A. in Education and M.A. in Library Science. He began his teaching career at North Huron High School and retired 37 years later from Portage Public Schools. He taught at all levels from a one-room school through college, finishing with Theory of Knowledge in the International Baccalaureate Program, which he truly enjoyed. Randy coached high school football, youth soccer, women's soccer, and participated in many sports himself. He sat on many community boards including AYSO, Vicksburg Historical Society, and the Portage Teacher's Union. Randy loved reading, history, genealogy, fishing, hunting, camping, and traveling most always with his family and friends. He was a well-rounded individual with a wealth of knowledge and was never one to let the facts get in the way of a good story. He met his wife Donna while teaching school in North Huron Schools and they were married on February 19, 1972. Together they formed many long-lasting friendships, celebrated 50 years of marriage, and had many adventures along the way. Randy is survived by his wife, Donna; his three children: Michael & Audrey Seilheimer (Lucas, Henry), David & Jodie Seilheimer (Avery, Kendall), and Carrie & James Curry (Andrew). He delighted in following his children's and grandchildren's experiences throughout their lives and supported them in all their endeavors. He is also survived by his mother, Katherine Seilheimer; sister and brother-in-law, Reg & Susan Iervolina; brother and sister-in-law, Thomas & Nancy Seilheimer; his wife's sister and brother-in-law, Cheryl & Phil Morosco; his wife's brother and sister-in-law, Joe & Nancy Kooperman; and many nieces and nephews, of whom he was so proud.
