Celebrating the life of
Margaret Christiansen Siebert
February 16, 1931 - September 11, 2024
Margaret Christiansen Siebert (93) of Talahi Island, passed away on 11 September 2024. She was born on 16 February 1931, in Graettinger, Iowa to Frederik Christiansen and Karen Christine Christiansen.
After graduating from Graettinger High School, she moved to Savannah, Ga where she met and married her loving husband, Herschel L. Siebert, Sr. She worked at multiple jobs, including Smart and Thrifty Shop, Vermillion Drug Store, and Lamas Cleaners. A dedicated Christian, Margaret was a Lutheran. In her younger days, she played the organ for services on many Sundays, and also organized and ran the Sunshine Club, a weekly gathering of elderly from around the Islands. In later years, she became a member of St Francis of the Islands Episcopal Church, making her what she described as a Lutherpailyon.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 72 years, her parents, and sister, Ethel Jensen.
Margaret is survived by one daughter Margaret Jean Siebert Lanier (Dennis) of Goose Creek, SC; three sons, Herschel Siebert, Jr (HuiNa, Deceased) of Warner Robins, GA, Frederick Siebert (Donna), and Paul Siebert (Cherrie) of Savannah, GA; nine Grandchildren and seven Great-Grandchildren.

I think I remember Mrs. Sibert when I played ping pong with her daughter Jean. I too lived on Talahi Island and we went to school together at Johnson High School. I think my mama knew Mrs. Siebert because she often spoke of her.

Very sad to learn of Mrs. Siebert’s passing. I remember her hosting the neighborhood Cub Scout troop at her home. Mr. & Mrs. Siebert were both wonderful people. Condolences & prayers for Margaret, Herschel, Frederick & Paul. I am very sorry for not seeing this obituary. I would have been present at the visitation.
