As volunteers, we often find ourselves guided by the leadership and mentorship of individuals who leave an indelible mark on our lives. It is with heavy hearts and fond memories that we remember the remarkable Director of the Arthritis Foundation, Haydee Sedlmeier.
For many years, Haydee served as the guiding light for countless volunteers and employees, embodying qualities that set her apart as a truly exceptional individual. Her caring nature, kindness, compassion, and dedication made her a beacon of hope and inspiration to everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her or get to know her.
The news of her sudden illness and subsequent passing has left us all in shock and a feeling of deep sorrow. Haydee’s impact extended far beyond the walls of the Arthritis Foundation; it touched the lives of not just a few, but potentially thousands who were influenced by her presence.
In times of loss and grief, our thoughts and prayers naturally gravitate towards her family, close friends, and colleagues whose lives she enriched with her warmth and generosity. As we mourn her passing, we also celebrate the legacy she leaves behind – one of kindness, integrity, and a true commitment to serving others.
Haydee was more than just a Director; she was a mentor, a friend, and a source of unwavering support for all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her absence will be felt, but her spirit and influence will continue to inspire us in our work and in our lives.
As we bid farewell to a beloved leader, let us carry forward the lessons she imparted, the values she embodied, and the love she shared. Haydee Sedlmeier, your memory will forever remain in our hearts, and your legacy will continue to shine brightly in the work we do and the lives we touch. 🕊️ #RememberingHaydeeSedlmeier #LegacyOfLeadership #Arthritis #Advocate #Friendship #Loss

Lyrics
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best
Prepare yourself you know it’s a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He’s gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
Oh he’ll recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That’s where you’re gonna go when you die (when you die)
When you die and they lay you to rest
You’re gonna go to the place that’s the best
Never been a sinner, I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He’s gonna set me up
with the spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best
Go to the place that’s the best
