Jean Seibert Obituary
Jean E. Seibert, 91, passed away peacefully on
July 21, 2020 in
Tucson, Arizona where she spent the last year of her life. Jean was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and spent most of her youth in Annapolis,
Maryland. After graduating high school, she attended nursing school in Baltimore, Maryland, where she met her husband, Frank Koval, with whom she had four children. They moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico where Jean lived most of her life. Jean was passionate about helping people and pursuing her nursing career as an RN, head nurse and as Assistant Director of Nursing Services at St Joseph's Hospital, the only hospital in Albuquerque when she was first employed. She was instrumental in opening the hospital's first critical care and coronary care unit. Jean married Dr. Virgil "Si" Seibert with whom she enjoyed life to the fullest- traveling, camping, sailing and cherishing their lives together. Jean continued serving the Albuquerque community by diligently providing essential hospital services until her retirement.
Jean was known for being a dedicated mother, an outstanding, hard-working nurse, faithful Christian where she was a member of the Calvary Chapel East, mentor, good
friend and a strong and fiercely independent woman. She
clearly conveyed these values and characteristics to her children,
whom she loved dearly. Jean
loved to celebrate life's many blessings and in spite of her demanding career, she always found time for all of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Jean's faith in the Lord never wavered even in her last days when she proclaimed she was ready to go to heaven and was not afraid.
She is survived by her four children: Ann
Lewellen (spouse: Jeff), Kathy Bailey (spouse: Steve), Carolyn Aragon (spouse: Richard Haber) and Kevin Koval (spouse: Yvonne). She has 8 loving grandchildren (Justin and Tyler Lewellen, Ashley Oliveras, Zack and Chad Bailey, Michael Gutierrez and Jennifer Baca-Gutierrez (deceased) and, Jon Lorigan and 7 great-grandchildren (Kaleah, Attyana, Soloman, Roman, Luke, Brynne, and Sophia). She will be forever missed by her family and friends.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there will be no service at this time. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the Alzheimer's Association www.alz.org/ or Billy Graham Ministry.

I am so glad to have met Jean. I met her at the Bee Hive where she lived for awhile. I have been there working and volunteering for 4 years. I would always mention that I knew her daughter Ann and she would always ask, “Well how do you know her?” Then we would talk about Ann. I remember offering her a piece of chocolate and how quickly she took it, then I remember her asking for dessert when she had just finished her first dessert, a woman after my own heart! We are SO Happy Jean is with her Lord and Savior forever. We will meet again Jean. Because of Christ we will meet again! With ❤Love to your family. Patricia A Graff

Aunt Jean was such an amazing person. I have so many fun childhood and adult memories of and with her. She was fearless, fun and so good to be around. She gave me some really good pieces of advice over the years and I can still hear her talking to me. As she aged and the many miles between us separated us I enjoyed catching up with her in the phone, I can hear her sweet voice and her laugh. I love you Aunt Jean!
