Dorothy Jean Seiter

Dorothy Jean Seiter, 91, of Ferguson, MO passed on February 16, 2026. Born on December 23, 1934 to Joseph and Jane Meiners. Dorothy was sister to six siblings and aunt to 50 plus nieces and nephews. (give or take) 

Dorothy was passionate for life. She loved Martinis, Family, Ferguson, the St. Louis Cardinals, her country, which you could see in her red, white and blue décor, reading, and an occasional martini. 

Dorothy was preceded in death by her late husbands, Ted Lammert, married May 5, 1956 and Roman (Bud) Seiter, married January 14, 1977. 

Upon marrying Ted, Dorothy moved to Ferguson where she began her life as a Mother to six; Ann (Robert) Stephenson, Jean (Bob) McCarty, Don (Dodie) Lammert, Laura (Kurt) Cavin, Ed (Erin) Lammert, and Ellen (Bob) Smith, Grandmother to 15; Justin, Michael, Simon, Sam, Nikki, Denny, Jason, Sonya, Kyle, Kaley, Ryan, Jenny, Shawn, Mandy, and Tim, and Great Grandmother to 15. 

Dorothy worked at McDonell-Douglas, Goodwin Brothers Printing Co., and Wetterau, Inc before opening her advertising business, Cider Studios. After closing Cider Studios, Dorothy freelanced for SuperValu before going on to publish the Ferguson Times for 20 years before retiring at the age of 86. 

Best Dorothy Quote: “There’s more to life than just work”. 

Service will be held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in St. Charles, MO on March 3rd, 2026. Visitation, 10am, with a service to follow at 11am. 

Dorothy strongly believed in keeping libraries an integral part of everyone’s lives. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Ferguson Municipal Library. 

In closing, when Dorothy was finished with her day or when the ice clinked in the bottom of her martini glass, she would sing “Show me the way to go home, I’m tired and I want to go to bed. Had a little drink about an hour ago and it went straight to my head.” 

“Goodnight Dorothy
