Donald (Don) A. Seering, 91, of Sheboygan, was called to his eternal home on Monday, Aug. 26, 2014.
Donald had been a resident at Morningside Health Care Center the past year. Prior to moving to Sheboygan, he resided at his home on Shawano Lake. He was born on Sept. 18, 1922, in the town of Hartland, the son of William and Anna Seering.
He married Elizabeth (Betty) Mueller on March 12, 1950, in Bonduel. Betty preceded Don in death on July 25, 2001. He attended school in Bonduel and worked on the family farm. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1944-1946. He served in Saipan, the Philippines and Okinawa, Japan, arriving there one month after the end of the war.
Don worked at Kohler Company in the pottery and brass divisions for 30 years, retiring in 1985. He was a quarter-century member. After retirement Don and Betty returned to their home on Shawano Lake, enjoying many years together, leading the quiet life. He loved to hunt and fish, providing many meals for family and friends over the years. He enjoyed teaching his sons the skills of hunting and fishing, and spending time with them enjoying these sports. He was a great caregiver for Betty when she became ill.
