Ann M. Seidl, 54, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was tragically taken from us on Saturday, March 29, 2025, after a fatal hit-and-run incident while out for a morning run. She was found in a ditch near Dunn County Highway Y, between 330th and 370th Avenue, where she had suffered severe injuries. Despite efforts to render aid, Ann was declared dead at the scene by emergency responders.
Born on June 12, 1970, in Eau Claire, Ann was a beloved member of her community. Known for her kind heart, bright smile, and love of the outdoors, she was an avid runner who enjoyed the peace and solitude of early morning jogs through the picturesque Wisconsin countryside. Ann’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle and her positive spirit were an inspiration to everyone who knew her.
In addition to her passion for fitness, Ann was a dedicated professional, a loving daughter, and a supportive friend. Her loss has left a void in the hearts of those who knew her, and she will be deeply missed by family, friends, and the many individuals whose lives she touched.
Ann is survived by her parents, siblings, and a wide circle of friends who will remember her for her warmth, generosity, and love of life.
As the community grapples with the loss of Ann, the investigation into the incident continues. A 17-year-old girl is expected in court Monday afternoon, facing charges related to the fatal accident and fleeing the scene.
Ann’s family has requested privacy during this difficult time but is grateful for the outpouring of support from the community. A memorial service will be planned in the coming days to celebrate Ann’s life and legacy.
