Cecilia Siegler

NORWAY — Cecilia “Tootsie” Siegler, 82, of Norway, died Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2019, at Evergreen Assisted Living in Norway.

She was born on July 16, 1937, in Felch, the daughter of the late Albin and Florence (Raether) Solberg.

Ceil graduated from Felch High School in 1955 as the valedictorian of her class.

She married Howard Siegler on May 4, 1957, in St. Joseph’s Church in Foster City.

Her greatest joy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ceil enjoyed crafting, scrapbooking, and giving her time back to the city she loved, Norway.

She helped establish the Jake Menghini Museum, where she was a contributor and docent. She also volunteered at St. Vincent DePaul.

She was an avid sports fan, spending much of her free time cheering on her beloved Norway Knights, Green Bay Packers and Detroit Tigers. She enjoyed playing the slots, but never let bad luck ruin her mood or bank account.

She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Howard; daughter, Teri Jarley of Henderson, Nev.; son, Jay (Cathie) Siegler of Canton; grandchildren, Amanda (Derek) Gray of Louisville, Ky., Margaret (Ryan Carlton) Jarley of San Francisco, Ryan Siegler of Canton, Jessica Siegler of Canton and Tyler Jarley of Las Vegas; great-grandsons Henry and Thomas Gray of Louisville; brothers Ronnie and Dewey Solberg of Iron Mountain; sister Barbie Fasbender of Milwaukee; and many nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be from 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3 at St. Marys Church in Norway.

The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the church, with Fr. Timothy Ekaitis officiating.

Interment will follow at the Norway Township Cemetery.
