Faye Siebert

JONESBORO - Our beloved mother, Faye Schwarz Siebert, was called into her Heavenly home Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022.

Born a cradle Catholic to Sebastian Paul Schwarz, fondly called Buster, and Irene Teresa Lehr Schwarz, she grew in the faith that would carry her through life's trials.

During her 60-year marriage to her husband George, she had seven daughters who love her immensely. While loving us through our teenage years when we had all the answers to life's questions and then guiding us through the heartbreaks, when life taught us how naive we were, she proved to be the most loving and patient mother.

She taught us that love has no bounds, as she celebrated our journey into motherhood. Her daughters gifted her with 11 grandsons and five granddaughters, who she spoiled.

We thank our Heavenly Father for his great kindness in his giving us such a wonderful Mom and his great mercy, as he welcomes her home. We cry today only for our immense loss, but celebrate her eternal life with God her Father, Jesus her Savior, and the Holy Spirit her Consoler.

Mom's devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary shall be rewarded as she gazes upon her great beauty.

She was preceded in death by her husband, George Siebert, infant son, Gary Wayne, and third set of newborn twins, Jeffrey and Joan, her parents, S.P. and Irene Schwarz, and sisters, Helen Nutt, Mary Lavern Siebert and Loretta Ballman.

"She always leaned to watch for us, anxious if we were late. In winter by the window and in summer by the gate." – M. Widdemer
