Olanda “Ann” Seitz age 92 of Wayne died on Thursday, November 10, 2011 at home with her family by her side. Ann was a resident of Wayne since 1957.
Ann was born on the Ausland family farm near Risor Norway to Karsten Norman and Klara (Pedersen) Ausland. Her mother passed away after giving birth to her brother Karl and Ann stayed at the farm and lived with her grandparents as her father looked for work in the United States. Six years later, when Ann was nine years old her father returned to Norway to bring Ann, her sister Christine, and her brother Karl back to the United States. They sailed on the Bergensfjord to New York and lived on City Island. She graduated from Evander Childs High School, Bronx, NY with the Class of 1938. Ann met her husband to be Richard “Dick” Seitz at a YMCA dance in New York City. They hit it off that evening and over the ensuing months they corresponded frequently. Upon his return from the War, they married on November 23, 1946 and initially settled in Pennsylvania before moving to New Jersey in 1955. They purchased their home in Wayne in 1957 and have enjoyed sixty five years of loving marriage together.
She was an active member of the St. Timothy’s Lutheran Church, Wayne and a member of the Sons of Norway, Nor-bu Lodge 427 in Rockaway.
Ann was an excellent cook and her special touch on Krumkake, Norwegian Christmas Cookies, will be truly missed. In her more senior years she enjoyed traveling with her husband Dick. They bought a custom van and traveled all around the United States. They also made many trips back to Norway and other European countries. Fostered by her father’s work in boatbuilding both in Norway and New York Ann enjoyed sailing.
She was the loving wife of the late Richard E. Seitz(July 2011); loving mother of James and his girlfriend Jean of Highland Lakes, NJ and the late Donald Seitz(2008) and his surviving wife Susie Seitz of Arvada, CO; cherished grandmother of Valerie, James Jr., and Jaclyn Seitz; one great-grandson; Tyler James Seitz, all of PA; loved sister of the late Christine and Karl and late half sisters Miriam and Doris.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Passaic Valley Hospice, 783 Riverview Drive, Totowa NJ 07512 would be appreciated.
