Dorothy Jean Seager's Obituary
Dorothy Jean Seager (Dumond), our caring wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away April 14, 2017, at Altercare of Big Rapids, at the age of 88. A memorial ceremony in her honor will be held Saturday, April 22, 2017, at New Hope United Methodist Church in Mecosta, at 11:00 AM. Pastor Greg Buchner will officiate with a luncheon to follow at the church. Dorothy’s family invites all in attendance to wear denim or Scottish plaid to the service in her honor.
Dorothy was born June 23, 1928, in River Rouge, MI, the daughter of Jesse and Beulah (Sunday) McGregor. She married William Dumond on June 17, 1950, and together the two grew their family to include six children. The family moved to California in 1961 when William was offered a job opportunity. They spent the next 13 years there before moving back to Michigan in 1974. Sadly, William passed away on July 18, 2002. Dorothy met Thomas Seager in 2004, and the two were married in Feb 5, 2005.
A good Christian woman, Dorothy was always a lady of good values. She was a member of the Clan Gregor Society, as well as the United Methodist Church for many years, and rarely missed a Sunday service. She always had a positive outlook on life and was devoted to her family. She enjoyed reading (and was a member of the Friends of the Library Book Club), knitting, and adventure. Traveling was a favorite of Dorothy’s, especially camping, backpacking and hiking.
She will be greatly missed by her husband of 12 years, Tom Seager; children, James Dumond, Michele (Robert) Christian, Paul (Laurie) Dumond, Barbara (William) Antonelli, Laura Nageotte, and Thomas Dumond; six grandchildren, Suzanne, James, Katherine, Taylor, Stephanie, Thomas, Jr.; five great-grandchildren; nine step-children, and 23 step-grandchildren.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents; first husband, William, and brother, Ross McGregor.
