Gerald Victor Siefert

Gerald V. “Jerry” Siefert, passed away at Hospice of Northwest Ohio on Thursday, January 28, 2016.  He was born on April 6, 1930 to Harry and Gertrude (Yantis) Siefert, who preceded him in death.

Jerry graduated from Burnham High School in Sylvania and was employed for 37 years at Sun Oil Co. in Oregon, Ohio, retiring in 1987.

He was a true renaissance man-give him a task and he could do it.  Jerry loved fishing in the Platte River in Honor, MI and working with wood.  He made many items of beautiful furniture for his and other homes.

Jerry is survived by his wife of 65 years Marilyn (Davis); daughters Suzanne (James) Pruss, Nancy O’Neill, Cindy (Gary Grime) Siefert, sons; Timothy (Jennifer) Siefert, Anthony (Lori) Siefert, and Thomas Siefert, 14 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren (the loves of his life) and his sister Verleen Thyer.  He was preceded in death by two brothers and two sisters and a granddaughter, Sydney Siefert.

Jerry was cared for lovingly by Mary and Martha at Parkcliffe Community and all the fine caregivers at the  Grove at Oakleaf Village.

Friends are invited to join the family for visitation on Sunday, January 31, 2016 at Reeb Funeral Home, from 1pm until the funeral service begins at 4pm.  Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, tributes are welcomed to Hospice of Northwest Ohio or the Alzheimer’s Association of Northwest Ohio.
