Mona Louise Seigel Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Mona Louise Yokum Seigel passed on to Heaven Thursday morning, July 23, 2015. She was born August 8, 1937 near Huttonsville, WV to the late Thomas Yokum and the late Blanche Mae Riffle Yokum. She grew up as one of 11 children on a farm in Huttonsville West Virginia. She loved school and graduated as a top student from Tygart's Valley High School. Following graduation Mona bravely ventured on her own to Baltimore where she attended secretarial school and went on to work as a legal secretary for Judge David Ross in Baltimore City, Md. In an age before computers and internet, countless young Baltimore District Attorneys and Defense Lawyers received their initial legal training from Mona who was the organizational glue that kept the court running. She retired after 40 years to tend to her beautiful flower and vegetable garden and loving pets Brandy, Moppet, Molly and Spencer before moving to Florida to be near her family. Mona was a generous, kind, funny, loving and wonderful mother and grandmother who served as a shining example of grace, strength and bravery for her entire family. She is survived and missed by her daughters Debra Dingle and Valerie Paul, her sons in law John Dingle and Jordan Paul and her three beautiful grandchildren Summer Dingle, Benjamin Paul and Harrison Paul who will never forget her, along with her precious Yorkie dog Spencer. She never ran out of funny stories of growing up on a farm with so many siblings and will be missed dearly. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 am Monday, July 27, 2015 at the Brick Church Cemetery near Huttonsville. Interment will follow. The Tomblyn Funeral Home of Elkins is in charge of the arrangements for Mona Louise Yokum Seigel. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.tomblynfuneralhome.com.
