Clifford John “Cliff” Siebeneck, 89 years, of Wardsville, Mo., passed away peacefully Monday, May 9, 2022 at home surrounded by his family.
He was born on July 29, 1932 in his family home in Wardsville to Steve and Bertha (Mueller) Siebeneck. He was married on November 17, 1951 in Jefferson City to Loretta Anna Bemboom.
A lifelong resident of the Wardsville area, Cliff graduated from Immanuel Lutheran School.
As a teenager, Cliff cut staves and cleared the right-of –way for Three Rivers Electric and drove a soda truck for Nehi Bottling Company. He then went to work for Von Hoffmann Press and McGraw Edison, before retiring in 1991 after 19 years as a Supervisor for Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
He was a man of faith, holding membership at Immanuel Lutheran Church Honey Creek.
Cliff enjoyed being outdoors and he could often be found dancing, coon hunting, working with his Wood-Mizer saw mill and exploring nature. He also enjoyed traveling with his wife.
