MIDDLETON - Katherine Marie "Kay" Seifert, age 70, of Middleton, passed away on Friday, June 5, 2020, at her home. She was born on July 28, 1949, in Louisville, KY, the daughter of Floyd and Mary (Ferger) Shriver. Kay grew up in the Vilas Park neighborhood, a place she always held in her heart; in particular the Zoo, which held so many happy memories. She attended St. James Elementary School and graduated from Madison Central High School.
After working for the State of Wisconsin and Cuna Mutual she went on to work as a typesetter for Ad Press, retiring in 2016. Kay was an avid reader, belonging to the neighborhood book club; she enjoyed crocheting and needle point. She looked forward to and enjoyed all travel, family vacations, and spending time with her friends. Kay loved her pets and other animals. The overarching loves throughout Kay’s life were her family.
Kay is survived by daughter, Jennifer Seifert (Ethan Lund); son, Timothy Seifert (Margaret Dickinson) ; grandsons, Charles Seifert and Felix Lund; granddaughters, Pilar Lund and Catherine Seifert; and sisters, Ruth Ann (Theodore) Gill and Sue (Jim) Neumueller. She was preceded in death by her parents; grandson, Alexander Seifert; and brother, Thomas "Red" Shriver.
A private burial will be held at Resurrection Cemetery. A Celebration of her Life will be held at a later date when the mass gathering restrictions are lifted. Memorials may be made to Middleton Outreach Ministry or Gilda's Club. Online condolences may be offered at www.gundersonfh.com.

I worked with Kay at CUNA Mutual for many years and she was always there to give me advice through a lot of personal problems. She always had something positive to say. I will always miss our telephone talks we had over the last few years. Marilyn Reque

To Kay's Family, We send our condolences and want you to know that Kay, and her Family have been, and will remain in our hearts and prayers. Kay's spirit of kindness, her smile and joyful laughter, always lit up the room., and will always be remembered. What a gift and honor to be one of her cousins! Though Kay will remain with us in spirit, I believe she was welcomed to Heaven by our Heavenly Father with loving family members right beside. I have included some dear memory photos of recent family gatherings in Wisconsin's great "Up North" at the Ferger Lake Alma home. Rest in Peace

Kay was a good friend. We met in grade school. I spent time at her house near Vilas Park. I enjoyed her family. We would laugh lots. We connected up again at the 50th highschool reunion. We had a lunch date and the years melted away. My forever sweet wise friend.
