Born to Carmelo and Concetta Attardi Spadaro, in Pochino, Sicily, Seby, at age seven, sailed from Polarmo to New York City by way of Ellis Island with her mother and older brother and sister, Charles and Antonette. Her father arrived in America two years earlier, then sent for his family when he established their new home in Brooklyn, NY, and secured employment as a custom shoemaker. Later, Concetta gave birth to Johnnie, Angello, and Gracie (six children in all).
Selby attended school in Brooklyn then worked in the garment district in Lower Manhattan where she met her future husband, Bernard Dheere. They married in a civil service in Jersey City, September 1935. The newlyweds lived near her parents in Brooklyn for a few years, then moved to Jersey City. Seby gave birth to their only child Bernard Charles, then moved to Hoboken, NJ, two years after Bernie arrived, to be near her in-laws.
In 1944, they moved to West New York, NJ, where they lived for eight years. Seby and Bernie moved to Point Pleasant. Seby commuted to New York to continue her career as a master sewing machine operator.
After 25 years of sewing, she retired and they moved to Farmingdale, NJ, where they purchased and operated a poultry farm. After 15 years on the farm, they retired; and followed Bernie Jr and his family to Iowa in 1977. Her husband passed away in April 1989. Seby relocated to Lake View, Iowa, to be near her son and his family. Seby loved her family with earnest passion. She enjoyed reading, cooking, and playing her electronic organ.
A selfless, giving, lady.
