Rosalys Joiner Seiber Retired teacher and former Big Valley resident Rosalys Joiner Seiber, age 91, died in St. Paul Minnesota on March 20, 2005. Friends and family are invited to the interment of her ashes on Friday, August 5 at 11 a.m. at the Adin Cemetery, Adin, CA. Rose was born in Pittville, CA and grew up in Big Valley, outside Lookout. She fondly recalled her happy childhood on the family ranch. In grade school, Rose met Lowell Seiber who told her "I'm going to marry you some day," and about 15 years later, he did. Rose graduated from Fall River High School in 1932 and began teaching at Little Hot Springs in 1933. Teaching was her passion and she often encouraged others to take up the profession. She taught in the Big Valley area from 1933 to 1946. After two years of teaching in the Bay Area, she and Lowell taught at Lookout from 1948 to 1953. They then moved to Eureka where she taught from 1953 to 1969. She inspired and was loved by students wherever she taught. During the summers and after retirement, Rose and Lowell traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. When at home in Eureka, they always welcomed friends and family for salmon fishing, beachcombing, picnics and the redwoods. They appreciated her friendship and her lust for life. Rose was an avid gardener. She even had a garden at their winter vacation spot in the desert of Baja, CA. Her friends and family fondly remember her pies made with berries from the garden. Rose was preceded in death in 1992 by her husband of over 50 years, Lowell Seiber, and by her brother Albert Joiner and his wife Lillian. She is survived by her children, Bruce Seiber and his wife Julianne of Arden Hills, MN; and Bryan Seiber and his wife Joanna of Tullahoma, TN. She is also survived by her grandchildren Eric (and Tatiana) Seiber, Kyle and (Leigh Ann) Seiber, Lydia (and Brent) Carlson and Emily Seiber.
