Services will be held at noon today in the chapel of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, 5603 N. Charles St., where she was a parishioner.

She is survived by two sons, John C. Seiler and Lewis P. Seiler Jr., both of Louisville; a daughter, Elizabeth S. McDonald of the Charlesbrooke section of Baltimore County; six grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.
