Maren Herman, 62, of Newfield, NY, died on Sunday, April 5, 2020, at Cayuga Medical Center. The daughter of the late Milly and Eddie Herman, Maren grew up in Lindenhurst, Long Island, with her older sister, Ilene. She met her soulmate, Bob, while they were both students at SUNY Albany. For 18 years, they lived in the Washington DC area, where Maren worked as database programmer for the National Science Foundation. They relocated to the Ithaca area in 1998, where Maren soon found work as a database programmer with the Cornell Law School, retiring from that position in 2018. She is survived by her husband, Bob Seeley, her sister, Ilene (Lucrezia) Herman, and her brother-in-law, Rob Armstrong.
Maren was a kind, giving person who was wonderful to be with. She enjoyed camping, hiking, music, dining out, cinema, and generations of cats. With retirement, she had time to develop her pottery skills and relax in her travel trailer.
