VIRGINIA SEIFERT

Cedar Rapids

Virginia Elaine Seifert, 26, died Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2015, from an accidental death.

Virginia "Ginny" graduated from Jefferson High School in 2007. She later attended classes at Kirkwood Community College, starting with veterinary assistant. She enjoyed drama and being in plays.

Ginny loved and was loved by her family and will be missed very much. She was a very open person and would talk to anyone.

She was an avid photo hound and almost always had her camera with her. She would take photos of anything and everything interesting. She especially liked taking pictures of flowers and old cars. Dad and Mom would often have to slow the car down so she could take a photo out the window. She liked buying gifts for people as well.

Ginny is survived by her parents, Jacklyn Skeel and Dennis Seifert; brother, Carl Skeel (Carla); sisters, Colleen Ott (Ryan) and Meah Condran (Kyle); nieces, Rezia, Regzhena and Victoria Kramer, Delilah Kramer, Sierra Ott, Haeven Ott and Izah, Kayla and Hannah Condran; nephew, Rex Ott; aunts, Deb Rife (Don) and Kathy Leeper; uncles, Stephen Seifert (Kay) and Bruce Seifert; and her boyfriend, Travis James Steichen.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Rex Virgil Skeel (Zoe Clemens) and Larry Seifert (Virginia Matson); and brother, Rex Jared Skeel.

Visitation will be at Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home on Tuesday, Oct. 20, from 10 to 11 a.m. There will be a graveside service the same day at 2 p.m. at Oak Hill Cemetery in New Hartford.

In lieu of flowers, donations made be made to the adult neurology department at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
