Carolyn Fish Seeley
1935 ~ 2012
Carolyn Fish Seeley, 77, of Boise, Idaho, passed away on September 13, 2012. She was born on July 24, 1935, in Los Angeles, California, to Lester Warren Fish and Clara Schulze Fish. She graduated from Pacific Union College in Northern California in 1957 and married her high school sweetheart, Jack Seeley, the same year. Carolyn taught school while Jack studied medicine at Loma Linda University. In 1966 Carolyn and Jack answered a call to the mission field and they, along with their two children, moved to Seoul, Korea, where they lived for three years. In 1969, Carolyn and her family moved to Bangkok, Thailand. While Jack worked in the mission hospitals in both Seoul and Bangkok, Carolyn put her teaching skills to work and taught English. She and her family returned to the United States in 1973 and moved to Boise, Idaho. Carolyn taught school at the Eagle Seventh-Day Adventist School for many years. She loved her students and inspired them not only academically but spiritually. Carolyn loved to travel, but most of all she loved her Lord. She will be greatly missed by her family and her friends. Our faith is strong that we will meet again in the earth made new. Her memorial service will be held at the Eagle Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 538 W.
