Frances Marie Siewert
November 5, 1919 — November 17, 2013
Frances Marie (Jablonske) Siewert, 94, of Red Wing, died November 17, 2013, at St. Brigid's
at Hi-Park, where she lived since 2010.
Frances was born November 5, 1919, in Red Wing, MN, the daughter of William and
Hazel (Hultberg) Jablonske. She was baptized in May of 1920 and confirmed March 25th,
1934, at St. John's Lutheran Church. She attended Jefferson School and later graduated from Red Wing Central High in 1938. Frances married William H. Siewert on April 25th, 1942, in Long Beach, California and they were married for over 50 years.
Frances worked at the St. Paul downtown airport during WWII as an aviation mechanic.
She was a beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Frances joined St.
Paul's Lutheran Church November 19, 1957 to present, where she had been a Sunday school
teacher, involved in the Ladies Circles, Bible Study groups and enjoyed helping in the
kitchen with funerals. She was also a member of the Leo C. Peterson #54 Auxiliary for 65 years,
the 14th Armored Division from WWII for over 40 years and also had joined the
Purple Heart in 1977.
Frances & William were avid travelers to his WWII reunions all around the United
States, but her favorite place to travel was her annual trip to Las Vegas with her
beloved daughters. Frances went nowhere without her camera, which she was well-known
for. Besides taking photos, she had a deep love and passion for gardening, both flowers
and vegetables-for which she counted the days until planting and even enjoyed weeding,
and later marveled at her reap that she later canned. Her family was precious, so her times
during the holidays were treasured; she loved to cook and bake and looked for any
reason or occasion to have the family over.
Frances is survived by her three children; Gloria Boldt, Glenn Siewert (Anne) and Gayle
Siewert; four grandchildren Wade (Sheryle) Boldt, Scott (Mandi) Boldt, Monica (William)
Root and Ashley Siewert; thirteen great-grandchildren; KC & Josie Boldt, Brady, Kaylie
and Misty Boldt, Mariah and Chenoa Vagt, Bruce Warnke, Kayson Morseth, Madison and
Kaden Erie and Mason and Nelson Root; one great-great-granddaughter, Arura Boldt
along with many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Bill of 50 years, son-in-law, Roger Boldt and two great-grandsons, Cody Boldt and Austin Erie.
Funeral service will be 2 p.m. Sunday, November 24, 2013 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church with Reverend Kristen Schlauderaff officiating. Burial will be at Oakwood Cemetery. Visitation will be for one hour prior to the service at the church. In lieu of flowers memorials are preferred to St. Paul's Lutheran Church or the Mississippi Shuffle-American Cancer Society.
