Eileen Seli Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 12, 2017.

Seli, Eileen O'Connor, 92, passed away on Monday, December 11, 2017 in Richmond, Virginia. She is survived by her five sons, Robert Seli, John Seli, James Seli, Mark Seli and Daniel Seli and their wives; by her grandchildren, Carole Scheer and her husband, Connor Seli, Kendall Seli, Matt Seli and his wife, Laura Seli, Olivia Seli, Emma Seli and Noah Seli; her great grandchildren, Micah Scheer, Jonah Scheer and Levi Scheer; and her sister, Jean Hannan.

Eileen was born on June 5, 1925 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She graduated from Carnegie Mellon University and met her husband, Bob, soon after her graduation. Eileen and Bob were happily married for 64 years, living most of their lives in Pittsburgh. Eileen was the loving mother of five sons and her life with Bob was focused on their families, both immediate and extended. Eileen was a doting grandmother and a favorite of her nieces and nephews. She will be deeply missed by the many who loved her.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, February 2, 2018 at 1 p.m. at St. Edward the Confessor Church located at 2700 Dolfield Drive, Chesterfield, Virginia 23235.

Our condolences to the entire Seli Family. Mr. and Mrs. Seli (as we called your Mother and Dad) were friends of our parents, and were so kind and good to our parents.

We enjoyed talking to your Mother (and Dad) when she would visit our home and when we would see both of your parents at church at Our Lady of Grace when we were growing up in Pittsburgh.

We hope you will be comforted by the many happy memories of your Mother and her love to all of you.

Our condolences to the entire Seli family. As good friends of John, Leanne, Laura, Matt and Lindsay, we have had the occasion to meet your fine family and dear Mother and Father. It's always been a pleasure to meet and hear about your family through the past 20+ years. And so, we feel your loss and sadness too and yet, have faith that they are reunited once again.
May your wonderful family memories and stories be shared and bring you comfort. Leanne and John always shared the houseboat story involving an ice pick in the cooler and your mother's concern about holes in the cans....:)
God bless you all,
Tom and Lorraine Winterink Madison,Christian and Liam Lievrouw
