Sally Lott 1945- 2024

TALLMADGE — Sally Ann Seyfried Lott, born Jan. 17, 1945, passed away Monday, Sept. 30, 2024, after several years of struggling with Alzheimer’s.

Sally is survived by her beloved husband, Richard “Dick” Lott. Their love story began when bumping elbows in a German language lab at Hiram College. They married on March 26, 1966, in Ravenna and remained steadfastly in love for 58 years. Sally and Dick raised two children, Matthew (Tamara) Lott of Stow and Melinda Lott of Wadsworth. Sally was the loving grandmother of Aaron, Nicole, Allison, Carolyn and Kaylee.

Sally is survived by brother, Jim (Toni) Seyfried of Columbus.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Wilbert and Pauline Seyfried of Ravenna and Aunt Rachel Ritter of Kent.

Sally completed her degree in elementary education at Kent State and taught third grade at Ravenna Southeast Primary for 25 years in the same classroom. Sally and Dick enjoyed weeklong, remote, tent, fly-in fishing trips with the canoe strapped to the pontoon struts of the float plane in northern Quebec. They also enjoyed Caribbean cruises with family. She was a wonderful cook, even getting her picky husband to try new dishes. Sally loved to read and sewed beautiful clothes for her kids’ and grandkids’ special events. She volunteered to direct food preparation, providing meals for the needy with Open M, a Christian ministry, through her church, Harmony Springs Disciples of Christ Church in Green. Sally was much loved and will be remembered and missed by many.

A memorial service will be 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024, at Harmony Springs Disciples of Christ Church in Green with the Rev. Joel Engman officiating.
