Mary "Maida" Gault Seedorf Obituary (1933

Mary Gault "Maida" Seedorf made her peaceful transition to heaven to be with her Lord and Savior on March 4, 2024, at the age of 90. Maida's life story is filled with love, resilience, and unforgettable moments. Having been predeceased by her husband Ron Seedorf in 2021, Maida leaves behind a legacy that will be cherished by many. Born in Port Glasgow, Scotland, on October 18, 1933, Maida was the daughter of Robert (Rab) and Mary (Mamie) Marshall (Maxwell) and sister to younger brother Roy Marshall. She shared a special bond with her father, Rab, as they entertained the troops together during the aftermath of the Second World War. Their performances in Glasgow, Scotland and beyond brought joy and laughter to many, underscoring her father's love for slapstick comedy and Maida's love for music and dance. She was an avid tap and Scottish highland dancer. Maida's journey led her to new adventures, from Toronto, Canada where her three boys (Bill, Bob and Donald) were born to Dunoon, Scotland; Rota, Spain; Hawaii; San Diego, California, and finally to Poulsbo at the end of Ron's Navy career. Despite the trials of frequent relocations, Maida's love for her family, friends and her ever present family dogs never wavered. Her decision to stay in Poulsbo in her final years, surrounded by cherished friends and furry companions, reflects her affectionate and loyal spirit. Her love for music and dogs was not just a passion but a source of joy and comfort till the end of her days. Maida's memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who were touched by her kindness and warmth. She is now reunited with her loved ones in heaven, where she rests peacefully. Maida's remains will be scattered at sea with her husband Ron by the U.S. Navy. A celebration of Maida's life will be held at Penasquitos Lutheran Church in San Diego, California, at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests considering donations to the Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe, California. (https://animalcenter.org). May Maida's legacy of love, resilience, and compassion continue to inspire us all during this difficult time. Arrangements entrusted to The Stone Chapel Poulsbo Mortuary in Poulsbo, Washington.
