Mildred has requested that contributions be given to Our Savior Christian Academy—14155 Hwy. N—Platte City, MO 64079. Mildred was born January 25, 1936 in Rockville, MO to Benjamin Richard and Clara Emma (Vogt) Bracher. She was Baptized into the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ on February 23, 1936 and Confirmed on April 2, 1950. Mildred married Verlyn E. Seider on May 2, 1953, in Harrison, Arkansas.
Verlyn was in the Air Force until 1963, and Mildred followed him to Roswell, New Mexico and to Loring Air Force Base, Maine. After leaving the Air Force, the couple resided in Gladstone, Dearborn, and finally in Platte City, MO. Mildred’s faith in the Lord was strong and fearless. She was a founding member of Our Savior Lutheran Church, committing much time and talent to the Church. As a mother and grandmother, Mildred encouraged a high sense of self-esteem, a love of learning, and respect for others. She was a willing participant in any activity that her grandchildren asked. The love of the outdoors followed Mildred to her passing. Her vegetable garden was glorious, giving ample produce, and her flowers were beautiful. Mildred’s hands were never idle—from gardening, to crocheting, to baking pies of making doughnuts.
Mildred’s legacy is in the gift of her positive spirit and upbeat attitude. She always enjoyed life, no matter what the circumstance. A testament to her character was her warmth, her vigor, and her ability to see good in all things. Her love of Christ is the over-riding gift that she has given to her family and to those who were blessed to have known her.
Mildred was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her brother Neil Bracher and her sister Elsie Bracher Wright.
She is survived by her children: Paul Seider, & wife Candee of Lee’s Summit, MO, Robert Seider & wife Carla of Sunrise Beach, MO, Christine Seider Bunselmeyer, & husband Keith of K.C., MO, Jacqueline Seider Lewis, & husband Roger of K.C., MO, and Gary Seider, & wife Ann of Centralia, MO; 13 grandchildren; and 18 great grandchildren.
