Barbara Siebenaler

Barbara Jean Siebenaler of Random Lake passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024, at the age of 92.

She was born the beloved daughter of Claude and Maude (Forsyth) Bradley on Sept. 1, 1932, in Chicago, Ill.

On April 15, 1955, Barbara married Wesley Siebenaler at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Random Lake, and together they raised three beautiful children.

After graduating from high school in Stronghurst, Ill., Barbara attended airline school for American Airlines in Kansas City and became a ticket agent for three years.  After marrying Wesley, she also worked at the West Bend Co. for a while and later for the family painting business alongside her husband at Siebenaler Paint Co.

Barbara was a longtime, active member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Random Lake and belonged to the parish’s Christian Mothers. She enjoyed her time with the Garden Club and was a lifetime member of the Random Lake Historical Society and Museum.

Known for her culinary skills, Barbara’s cherry pies were renowned for their delicious taste, earning her numerous accolades at local fairs. Her passion for outdoor activities, such as playing tennis, boating, golfing and engaging in water aerobics, kept her spirits high and her body active throughout the years.

Barbara’s memory will be cherished by her children Bob (Mary Ann), Carol (Ron) Ferko and Patti (Dan) Heibel and grandson Chad Siebenaler. She is further survived by other relatives and friends and was preceded in death by her husband Wesley (1929-2003) and siblings Louis, Jimmy, Jack, Irene, Gladys and twin Beverly.

A Mass of Christian Burial was to be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2024, at Our Lady of the Lakes Parish, St. Mary Chapel, 300 Butler St., Random Lake, WI 53075. The family was to receive visitors at the church from 9:30 a.m. until the service.

Barbara was to be laid to rest next to her husband Wesley immediately following the service at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Random Lake.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are encouraged to Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic Parish or the Random Lake Fire Department in Barbara’s memory.
