John Stephen Seefried

John Stephen Seefried, 70, of New Haven, Indiana, formerly of Franklin, PA went home to be with the Lord on Dec 21, 2020.

Born May 10, 1950 in Franklin, he as a son of the late Jesse W. and Lucille Mae Lepley Seefried.

John loved spending time at home with his family.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Lucy (Phenicie). Also surviving are a brother, Michael Seefried of Franklin and a sister, Patricia King of Franklin.

In addition to his wife and siblings, he is survived by three daughters: Stephanie Seefried (and significant other Marc Jennings), Christina Lane (and husband David Lane), and Jacqueline Hinkle (and husband Jordan Hinkle). He is also survived by seven grandchildren who were his joy: Shawn Tarr (and fiancé Alexis McLeod), Abigail Tarr, Emma & Ashlyn Gibbs, and Trenity, Max, and Nevaeh Lane, and also his favorite grandpuppy, Maxwell Bentley.

John proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps in 1968 and then reenlisted with the United States Navy in 1973. He had hoped to join each branch of the military.

After retiring from the USPS in Meadville, John became an avid trivia game player, channel flipper, family card game cheater champion (NO TABLE TALK), and king of his recliner. John will always be remembered for his quick humor and his knack for making everyone around him smile and laugh.
