Linda Blades Seemans

Linda Lee Seemans (Blades), of Bozman, Maryland, was born September 23, 1952, in Easton, Maryland, to the late Bozy and Dory Blades. A beloved wife, sister, aunt, friend, and community member, Linda lived her life with a spirit of generosity, a deep love of family, and an unwavering devotion to others. She is survived by her loving husband, Harry Seemans, with whom she shared nearly 46 joyful years of marriage. Together, Linda and Harry built a beautiful life filled with sailing adventures, walks along Delaware and Caribbean beaches, ice cream trips to Dairy Queen, morning walks to Grace Creek, dancing, and countless memories with their many dear friends. Linda is also survived by her siblings: Rose Blades, Barbara Ayres (Steve), Bill Blades, Sandy Lavender (Tom), and Dena Blades. She was a cherished aunt to Bryan Jefferson(Amy), Brad Marx, Molly Mellor(Matt), Garrison Blades, Howard Ayres(Lauren), Matt Jefferson(Billie Jo), Grant Blades, Courtney Marshall, Brooke Marshall(Jay), and Parker Whiting; and a beloved great-aunt to Hannah, Kendal, Luke, Gabby, Milania, Mattie, Adalyn, Holton, Ariah, Chance, Hayes, Palmer, and Brooks. She also filled the role of godmother, mentor, and second mother to countless children of family and friends, always making each one feel like they were her favorite. A 1970 graduate of St. Michaels High School, Linda went on to Chesapeake College. She worked in a variety of roles she loved, including at Knapps Narrows Marina, Hess Apparel, Severn Marine, and Blades Marine Construction, before founding her own company, Linda Seemans Business Services. She was admired for her loyalty and dedication to her clients, as well as for her service as treasurer for Senator Johnny Mautz. Linda’s life was marked by service, faith, and connection. A faithful member of Christ Church in St. Michaels and Real Life Chapel, she held many roles within her church family. She gave generously of her time, volunteering with organizations such as Christmas in St. Michaels, the SMASH program, Bay hundred Community Pool, the Waterfowl Festival, Tilghman Island Day, Tred Avon Yacht Club, and by coaching the Blues field hockey team. She also loved helping with the regattas. She was recognized as SMHS Alumni of the year in 2023 for all she did for her community. With all of that on her plate, she still made sure to always be present and available for her family and friends. Being the first born in the family she thought it was her job to take care of every one of us and she happily took on that role with ease. Linda was described by one of the special children in her life as “a fairy god mother or angel, but not one from a story or movie, but a real life person that I could count on and interact with.” All the children in her life would agree with that statement. Linda brought people together. Every holiday was hosted at her and Harry’s home, where she welcomed all with warmth, laughter, and incredible food. Competitive and spirited, she loved tennis, horse races on the boardwalk, Wednesday night races aboard their sailboat Rumour, and being part of a vibrant circle of friends. She was witty, fun, humerus, patient, hardworking, and deeply empathetic, a natural leader who pursued everything with grace and conviction, a devoted friend and family member, and most importantly a devoted wife. Linda will be remembered most for her warm heart and her unforgettable laugh that brought comfort and joy to all who knew her, and also for the love she poured into every aspect of her life. She was the heart of her family, a steady foundation for those she loved, and an angel in the lives of many. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any of the following charities in her memory.
