Robert Ralph Seeley
1948-2026
With heavy hearts, the family of Robert Ralph Seeley of Hartland announces his passing on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at the Upper River Valley Hospital after a lengthy battle with cancer.
Born April 23, 1948, Robert was a man of few words; so when he spoke, people listened. Greatly respected for his work ethic and his dedication to his family, he will also be remembered as being a very private man who enjoyed the simple things. He was a potato farmer to the core, but was also a truck driver and broker with Day & Ross for several years.
Robert is survived by his wife of over 55 years, Gail (Barrett) Seeley; his son Sean (Joanna) Seeley of Hanwell; his daughter Angela Stephenson (Scott Harding) of Bedell; his grandchildren Barrett Stephenson, Bryan Seeley, Parker Stephenson, Rachel Seeley and Kaitlyn Seeley; his brother Kenneth (Carol) Seeley; and his sister Marie Foster (late Wesley); along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Robert was predeceased by his father, Ralph Seeley; his mother, Avis Chambers; his parents-in-law, Harry Barrett and Alemeada Sparrow.
Respecting Robert’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service. The family is planning a private graveside memorial service in the spring.
The family would like to express their extreme gratitude to the Horizon Health Oncology Department, Extra Mural Program, and to 2E Staff at the Upper River Valley Hospital for their compassionate care and support.
For those who wish to make a donation in memory of Robert, the family suggests the River Valley Cancer Support Group or a memorial of their choice.
Arrangements are in the care of the Britton Funeral Home, 2 High Street, Hartland, NB. www.brittonfh.ca. 506-375-4343
