Beloved Community Member Charlotte M. Seim Passes Away at 89

UPDATE: Charlotte M. Seim, a cherished member of the Guilderland community, has passed away at the age of 89. Her family confirmed that she died on November 11, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and community spirit.

Born on February 26, 1936, Charlotte was the daughter of the late Clyde and Jennie (Travis) Woodard. For many years, she worked at Travelers Insurance Company, where she met her husband, the late William R. Seim. Her family described her as someone who “lived for her family,” and she was known for her vibrant personality and infectious sense of humor.

Charlotte was a familiar face in the Baptist community, where she often walked the halls, engaging with residents and participating in various crafts and activities. Her love for walking extended beyond the community, as she enjoyed shopping and attending craft fairs.

She is survived by her children: Donna (Ronald) Healt, William (Debra) Eggleston III, Richard (Cheryl) Eggleston, Michael (Rose) Eggleston, and Guy (Susan Jacobson) Eggleston; alongside eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Charlotte was predeceased by her first husband, William Eggleston Jr., and her grandson, Ryan Healt, as well as her four sisters and one brother.

The family expressed heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Baptist Health and Community Hospice, particularly Brittany and her team, for their exceptional care during Charlotte’s final days.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages memorial contributions to be made in Charlotte’s honor to the Alzheimer’s Foundation by visiting www.alzfdn.org/donate.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, located at 343 New Karner Rd., Colonie NY 12205. The funeral service will take place on Thursday at 11 a.m., following a gathering at the funeral home starting at 10 a.m.. Interment will follow at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Guilderland, NY.

This loss resonates deeply within the community, as many remember Charlotte not only for her contributions but also for the warmth she brought to those around her.
