Published August 21, 2024

Judith Ann Siebert was born April 1, 1949, in Kansas City, Kan., to Aubrey E. and Amanda (Blankenship) Siebert, both preceded her in death.  She is survived by eight siblings Mavis, Karen, Carol, Don, MarthaLynn, Patty, Margaret, and Norman. She was preceded in death by six siblings, Mary, Sherry, Leon, Emmitt, James, and Joe. She was loved by many nieces, nephews, extended family, community family, and friends.

Judy loved her pets and plants.  She was one of a kind and embraced her nickname of “Crazy Judy,” even introducing herself using it. She was full of surprises and she always spoke her mind. She lived life to the fullest and there wasn’t anything she wanted to do that she didn’t do. She never missed a Bingo game and had the most fun of anyone present. She will be missed by many. Judy passed peacefully in her home in Blue Mound, Kan., on Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2024.

There will be a Celebration of Judy’s life at noon, on Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, at the Blue Mound City Park. In case of inclement weather, the celebration will be moved to the Blue Moon. Memorial contributions in memory of Judy are suggested to Angel Hearts Rescue in care of Schneider Funeral Home, P.O. Box J, Mound City, Kan. 66056. Friends and family may leave online condolences at www.schneiderfunerals.com.
