Valerie Biesiadecki

It is with profound love and gratitude that we celebrate the life of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Valerie (Cala) Biesiadecki , who entered eternal rest on September 8, 2025.

A woman of extraordinary strength, grace, and joy, she lived her life in service to others. A devoted single mother, she raised her four daughters with unwavering love and made countless sacrifices, while also nurturing dozens of children throughout her long career as a childcare provider. To know her was to be touched by her generosity, her warmth, and her laughter.

She was a woman of many passions—an artist with a creative spirit, a historian deeply fascinated by the World Wars and Roman civilization, and a proud Italian who rekindled her native language and treasured her heritage. She adored the theatre, cherished time with her many friends and family, and filled every gathering with light, humor, and love.

A devoted daughter, she tirelessly cared for her parents in their final years, embodying selflessness and compassion. Her faith was a guiding force throughout her life; as a devout Catholic, she held a deep devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe until her final days.

She is survived by her loving brother, Sam (Marta); her four daughters, Denise (Jeff), Lisa (Steve), Kim (Mike), and Nicole (Mike); eight grandchildren, Nicholas (Amanda), Alysha (Chad), Nikki, Michael, Michael (Lauren), Lindsay (Javier), Mia (Adam), and Ava; and five great-grandchildren, Logan, Riley, Michael, Tucker, and Sophia. She will be remembered as the heart of her family and a beacon of joy and love to all who knew her.

Degree, or consistently teaching Sunday school, Lynda brought creativity and excitement to all lessons, and quizzes for every social activity she was a part of.  She was active member of Pilgrim Lutheran Church for more than four decades sharing the gospel, encouraging confirmation class members, and making beautiful cards to encourage all in whatever situation they were experiencing. 

Lynda spent countless hours in the kitchen cooking, baking, and making beautiful cheese, veggie, and cracker plates for every occasion.  For holidays she wanted everyone to be together and prided herself with her Thanksgiving dinners with 20-plus attendees, two turkeys, and family together for days on end.  She decorated and cooked for every season and made home warm and cozy in every way. 

With Lynda’s hospitable heart and desire to be together with friends she and Ken formed friendships that have lasted 50 years. Whether it was in tennis leagues, fishing at the yacht club, or the social (pinochle) club in the neighborhood they started, Lynda’s hospitably brought friends and families together.   

As a member of the Concord Garden Club she co-led the Program Committee to super-charge their meeting educational content, field trips, and added special decorative touches to every meal they shared together.  Her orchids deserved to be in the botanical gardens display and each room in the home has thriving plants that reflect her caring touch.  In the back yard garden roses, herbs, enormous hostas, and gorgeous hanging flowering plants bring the song birds and humming birds delight.

Lynda was an avid reader and attended four bible studies each week.  She and husband shared their faith and studied and prayed together regularly.  Throughout the years, she spent countless hours volunteering with Ken to bring meals to shut-ins, cook for project hope and prime timers, they were marching band parents, led service projects in Junior Women’s Club, and made floral arrangements to bring a cheerful surprise to friends and neighbors. Ken and Lynda were married 53 years and centered their marriage around family, fishing, friends, faith, and fun out of doors.

Robert William Sellers

With heavy hearts but also smiles for all the joy he brought, we announce that Robert William Sellers peacefully left this world on August 7, 2025, at the age of 82.

Bob was many things - a devoted husband and father, caring brother, world class grandfather, fun uncle, loyal friend and a hard worker of various trades throughout his life. Bob was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a bright light in every room — part charm, part wit, quick to laugh and entirely easy to love.

He leaves behind his wife Joanne, his co-pilot in life and love for over “60” years of adventures, moves, and special moments shared at their beloved Lake Santeetlah in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Bob is survived by his three girls Lisa (Dennis) Morek, Cheryl (Scott) Hesprich, and Sheri (Bill) Condon; grandchildren Matt (Sophie), Jessie, Joey, Josh, Luke (Payton), Owen, Ella, and Evan; great-granddaughter Hazel; brother Tom “Bubba” (Nina) Bennett; sister-in-law Audrey Myers; and many special nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

In heaven, Bob now joins his parents Harry and Helen Bennett; his brother Lloyd “Lee” Andrew Sellers; granddaughter Ellie Morek; and his brother-in-law and best bud Launce Myers.

To be around Bob was to feel happiness. He shared what he had, listened without judgment, and made us laugh — often when we needed it most. Bob loved his country and was deeply patriotic, proud to call it home and grateful for the freedoms it gave. We’ll remember him in the glow of a mountain sunset, the sweep of an eagle across a blue sky, and yes…when we share a rolling rock – or a popsicle with a joke on the stick - while enjoying a beautiful lake view.

Bob’s life wasn’t just well-lived — it was well-loved. And he made sure we all knew it. He is and always will be deeply missed. May God bless and keep him until we meet again.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, August 13 at 12pm; St. John Vianney Catholic Church - 7575 Bellflower Rd. Mentor, OH; burial at Mentor Municipal Cemetery and reception to follow.
