Frederick Russell Seller, at Beach Grove Home, surrounded by
family and friends on March 20, 2019. Born in Charlottetown,
Frederick’s childhood was filled with the joy of spending
summers with his family in Keppoch. He began his lifelong love of
swimming and the ocean during these early years. As a young man
Frederick loved music and drama. He played piano, and his dramatic
flair was expressed through performances in a variety of musical
productions throughout his life. Gilbert and Sullivan were favourites.
Frederick studied theology at Pine Hill divinity School in Halifax and
was ordained by the United Church of Canada in 1964. Never one to
follow the status quo, after ordination he tended to his sense of
adventure and traveled to Europe and Morocco before beginning
ministry. Frederick then headed west to Saskatchewan where he met his
wife Carol. After studying at Selly Oak college in Birmingham and
traveling in Europe, they returned to the east coast where their
children Stefan and Krista were born. The family settled in Saskatoon,
where Frederick served as a congregational minister and later as a
chaplain and social worker within Long-Term care. Frederick was a
natural leaded and team player. Colleagues loved his deep compassion,
wisdom and sense of humour that he brought to the most challenging of
situations. Throughout his life Frederick continued to nourish his
passion for music. He sang in the Saskatoon Men’s Choir,
performed musical theatre with the Saskatoon Opera, and acted in
numerous church dinner theatre productions. Frederick deeply valued
his connections with family and friends in PEI. He maintained his
strong Island roots through annual summer visits with his family to
their cottage in Hartsville, where he and Carol later retired. They
loved exploring the world together and enjoyed trips to Europe, New
Zealand and Hawaii with their children. Frederick and Carol
established a strong community through their involvement at West River
United Church and singing in choirs. Throughout his journey with
dementia, the essence of Frederick’s loving spirit remained
strong. He was always quick to say “I love you’ and
remind us: “I will always be with you”. Beloved husband of
Carol Stevenson Seller, father of Stefan (Jane Lee), and Krista (Chris
MacDonald); brother of David MacLeod Seller, uncle of Anne (Jochen
Orth), Jennifer (Dave Steele), Jonathan (Julie MacDermott). Remembered
by cousins, their families, and a wide circle of friends. A service of
Remembrance and Celebration will be held at West River United Church
in Cornwall on Wednesday, March 27 at 2 pm. Arrangements by Belvedere
Funeral Home. Family flowers only. Memorial donations may be made to
the Alzheimer’s society of PEI or West River United Church.
The family deeply appreciates the care provided to Frederick during
his time at Beach Grove Home.

Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Frederick Seller 19362019..
