March 8, 1931 — December 27, 2021

LANCASTER - Marita R. Seitz, age 90, passed away on Monday, December 27, 2021, at Lancaster Health Services. She was born March 8, 1931, in Potosi, WI, the daughter of Art and Laura (Kelly) Burggraf. Marita graduated from Lancaster High School. On August 2, 1949, she married Frank Seitz at St. Charles Catholic Church in Cassville. For years, Marita worked at the Grant County Abstract Office while raising five girls. She loved playing cards, especially Euchre, 500, and Penny Poker with the girls. Many memorable summers were spent up north with her children and grandchildren. Marita was a die-hard Packer fan who loved to banter with her grandchildren who were rooting for the opposing teams.
