Graveside services for Frank Donald Seger were held Tuesday, Aug. 31 at the El Reno Cemetery under the direction of Huber-Benson Funeral Home.
Frank passed away early Friday morning, Aug. 27, 2021, in Yukon at 95 years old. He was born June 9, 1926, in Colony to Blanche Redshin and Donald Seger and grew up in the Thomas and Watonga area. He graduated high school from Haskell Institute in Lawrence, Kan., in 1944. He enlisted in the Army shortly thereafter and was stationed in Germany, Company D, 30th Infantry during World War II. He reminisced of his military experience often, for instance, telling of not knowing the war ended until a day later because they were too far up on a mountaintop to receive the news. He was discharged a few months after the end, and later re-enlisted, serving two years, and was honorably discharged.
Frank worked on a train as a mail carrier in the Wichita area for several years before attending college at Bacone and later graduating from Central State. He married Annie Romannose on Feb. 4, 1957, and they started their family. The family of nine moved to Arizona where Frank attended Arizona State University pursuing his graduate education. He later completed his master's of social work degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1973.
Frank's federal government career began with the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a social worker and culminated with his retirement from Indian Health Services in 1996.
Afterwards, Frank worked for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, ending with his appointment with the Tribal Health Board.
Frank's hobbies included basketball and softball as a young man. In his later years, Frank enjoyed golfing, bowling with his wife, Annie in leagues and tournaments and managing men's fast-pitch softball teams. One highlight of this includes coaching his team to the finals of the State Indian Tournament. Bingo, traveling, yardwork and morning walks with Annie after they both retired filled the rest of his days.
Frank was a licensed social worker and belonged to NASW. He also organized a non-profit group for the Tribes: C&A Health and Wellness. He was a member of American Legion Post 401. He was selected by Honor Flights Association for a visit to Washington, D.C., and received a quilt from the Quilts of Valor Foundation.
He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, brother, Albert Wright and sister, Freda (Romannose) Primeaux. Losses also include his daughter, Francine Seger (1975) and wife, Annie (2018).
Frank is survived by his sons, Donny Ray Seger, John Seger, Robin Seger and Darryl Seger; and daughters, Jeanine Seger and Deborah Ellis. He is also survived by grandchildren, Rebekah Ellis, Francine Lowe, Clifton Ellis Jr., Elijah Ellis and Kayelyn Chalepah; great-grandchildren, Cordell Ellis, Jarell and Serenity Lowe and Penelope Ellis; sister, Norma Jo Riggles; nieces, Sherri Wright, Kim Riggles and Allison Black; nephews, Jon Riggles and Patrick Primeaux; with many extended family.
