Debra Lynn ‘Deb’ (Natzke) Seidl age 57 of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 with her family by her side following a short struggle with cancer. Deb was born on September 27, 1966 in Merrill, Wisconsin to LuEllen (Pohmeier) Natzke and the late Martin Natzke.
Deb attended Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Merrill and graduated from Merrill High School in 1985. She then attended the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in General and Choral Music with a major in piano. She taught K-12 choral music for 34 years. Her first two years of teaching music were with the Shawano School District and the remaining 32 years of teaching music were with the Hilbert School District in Hilbert, Wisconsin.
While attending UW-Green Bay she met the love of her life, Daniel ‘Dan’ Seidl. They married on October 16, 2004 at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Appleton, WI. Together they have had two golden retriever fur babies, Coda and Banjo. Deb and Dan enjoyed traveling and going to Broadway Musicals. Deb will be remembered as an extremely caring person, always putting others first. Additionally she enjoyed playing Dominoes with her mom, as well as card games (sheepshead).
She was very involved at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Appleton, WI leading the TAPS (Thanks and Praise Service) for many years. Additionally she taught piano lessons in Hilbert and directed many high school musicals. After joining Hope Lutheran church in Fond du Lac she enjoyed singing in the church choir.
In addition to her husband Dan, she is survived by her mother, LuEllen Natzke, brother Michael (Kelley) Natzke, nephews Ben (Ali) Naztke, Matt (Nicole) Natzke and great niece Nora Natzke with a great nephew due in August.
