Carol J. Siebe, age 87 of Fremont, formerly Lincoln, passed away peacefully with family by her side Friday, November 26, 2021. Born on December 16, 1933, in Beatrice, NE to Fred and Elizabeth (Engel) Coates, Carol was better known to most as “Grandma”. Carol and her husband, Don raised 8 children (6 sons and 2 daughters) in the Jansen area, Beatrice, and Lincoln. The couple and their children enjoyed spending time at Lake Leba in Fremont. The couple later retired in Fremont. Carol was a hard worker spending many hours on the tractor tending to the farm, as a waitress at The Steeple House and Tempo in Beatrice and, after moving to Lincoln, she worked for and retired from Brunswick. Her favorite thing was hosting large family gatherings and taking care of her family - everyone was welcome. Many were lucky enough to learn how to waterski or engage in a squirt-gun water or water balloon fight with Carol.
She is survived by her children Larry (Pat) Siebe - Lincoln, NE; Wes (Sandy) Siebe, Dean (Rose) Siebe - Dubuque, IA; Don (Shannon) Siebe - Fremont, NE; Susan (Michael) Booth - Valley, NE; Carol (Bill) Denlinger – Cape Coral, FL; daughter-in-law Penny Siebe, Lincoln, NE; 17 grandchildren; 27 great grandchildren; and 4 great grandchildren, sister June Hostetter – Louisville, IA; Freida Oltman and Donna Lant – Lincoln, NE; many nieces and nephews.
