Edith V.

Edith V. Sedivi, of Holland OH, devoted mother and grandmother, left to join her heavenly Father on November 16, 2015 at Lutheran Village of Wolf Creek.
Edith was born in Budapest, Hungary the only child of John and Elizabeth Doros. She was educated and later married in Czechoslovakia. After escaping to Germany with her mother at her side during WW II, she was devoted to protecting and providing for her two children. The family left everything behind to start over again when they immigrated to the United States. She was very proud to become a U.S. citizen in 1957.
Juggling between working fulltime and bringing up row children with the help of her dear mother, Edith soon assimilated to a new life in the U.S. With the skills gained from her major in typing and shorthand, she was hired shortly after her arrival by Dura Division of Detroit Harvester in the Purchasing Department. Later, she was hired for a two-week temporary typing position at Owens Illinois. This was the perfect match and Edith was a quick learner, not only English languages skills, but also the multitude of highly technical terms. She worked for 33 years at Owen Illinois, retiring in 1987 as a Research Librarian at the Technical Information Center.
Edith often placed the needs of others above her own as long as she was able. Besides her fulltime job and family responsibilities, through the years, Edith always managed to do volunteer work in a variety of organizations and causes including: The International Institute of Toledo, Toledo Sister Cities International, Hungarian Cultural Centre of Windsor, Christian Business & Professional Women's Organization, Toledo Hospital, volunteered for many years at the annual LPGA Jamie Farr tournament and at the Toledo Botanical Gardens Garden Gallery. A former member of the Toledo Ski Club and several music clubs, she was still an active member of the Onized Club- O-I retirees.
Edith was always interested throughout her life with political causes, standing up for human rights and battling injustices. A fitness enthusiast, maintaining a healthy life-style was of great importance to her.
Sparked by curiosity and a desire to seek new adventures, Edith was best known for her passion for travel. A member of Nomads Air Travel Club since 1970, she traveled for 6 of the 7 continents in the world, accumulating half a million air miles. Some of her extensive travel included visits to China, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Egypt, Indonesia, Greece, Turkey, Malaysia, Singapore, London and the Dominican Republic. But her favorite travel destinations were the Caribbean & Mediterranean Islands and especially the beautiful city of Budapest where she was born.
One of her greatest joys was watching her grandchildren grow up – they remain her pride and joy. Other interests through Edith's years included snow skiing, ice skating, bowling, golf, playing bridge, piano, knitting, crochet & needlework, dining out, dancing, and attending plays and operas in locations around the world. Edith was also a scrapbooking enthusiast.
Edith was preceded in death by her loving son, Csaba Frank Sedivi; her parents, and her ex-husband, Paul.
Surviving family members are her daughter, Edith (Robert) Mix; granddaughters Lindsey & Erika Mix and Amy Sedivi.
Visitation will be held at the Foth-Dorfmeyer Mortuary, 3815 Sylvania Ave. (at Woodley Rd.) on Sunday, Nov. 29th from 2- 5 p.m. where funeral services will be held on Monday, Nov. 30th at 11 a.m. Entombment Ottawa Hills Memorial Park.
