Mildred Irene Seeley, 99, of Ashton, died October 1, 2015, at her home of natural causes incident to age.

She was born November 2, 1915, in Drummond, Idaho to Ernest Emmett Garver and Minnie Elizabeth Garver. When she was three, her father died and her mother ultimately married Alvin Wellington Seeley, whose wife had also died.

She attended schools in Ashton.

On December 22, 1932, she married Hyrum Wightman Seeley at the Madison County Courthouse in Rexburg. She worked her entire life on the original family homestead north of Ashton. She and Hyrum acquired more land as time went by. They sold the farm to their sons in 1972, retired, and moved to Ashton. The farm she was raised on was the center of her life as she loved to travel there whenever possible. Later in life she always liked to ask questions about the farm and what was going on. After she moved to Ashton, she continued her love of farming by raising a wonderful garden each year.

She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While she was able, she enjoyed teaching primary, studying religious scriptures and looked forward to receiving visiting teachers and home teachers. She enjoyed her family, especially her husband, Hyrum, when he was alive.

She is survived by her children, Delma White, Ernest R. (Dixine) Seeley, Alvin Dick (Jan) Seeley, Arnold L. (Judy) Seeley, Mildred Grieve, and sister-in-law, Joyce Seeley, all of Ashton. Mildred was a constant caregiver to her mother over the past several years.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, a sister, three step-sisters, a step-brother, and two half brothers. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren.
