Vernon James Seeba was born on January 5, 1929, at Wright Hospital in Fergus Falls to Herman and Gertrude (Tolbert) Seeba. He attended country school in the area, and helped out on the family farm.

On November 13, 1954, Vernon married Lorice Kubitz at Stavanger Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls. The couple made their home on the Seeba farmstead in rural Fergus Falls and was blessed with three children- Brian, Carrie, and Denise.

Vernon spent most of his time working on the farm, but when the chance allowed, he liked to travel. He and Lorice enjoyed taking trips to Montana, California, Medora, Valley City, and the North Shore. During the winter months, he enjoyed ice and spear fishing and photography. In the summertime, he enjoyed pontoon rides and long drives through Ottertail County, especially Maplewood State Park.

Vernon had so much love for his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. There were many trips made to the Pelican Rapids Dairy Queen taking grandchildren for ice cream, and sharing a banana split with Lorice.

Vernon is survived by his wife of 70 years, Lorice; children, Brian Seeba (Snicky Davis), Carrie (Tom) Hanson, Denise (Darin) Mansfield; grandchildren, Erin Seeba (Ian Blaustein), Dr. Sara Seeba, Laurel (Timothy) Springer, Emmy (Michael) Shelby, Angie Hanson (Curt Huseth), Rebecca Hanson (Richard Trantow), Randall (Kate) Mansfield, Samantha Mansfield, Chrissy (Jayden) Schmidt; great-grandchildren, Elaina (Alex) Cashman, Owen, Oliver, Etta, June, Margot, Tacy, Hazel, Avery, Easton, Ava, and Wesley.

He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings.
