Mary Siegfried

(From Simpson Funeral Home)

Mary Frances Siegfried, of Webb City, Missouri, passed away March 24, 2025 shortly after turning 75.

Mary was born March 8, 1950 in Long Island, New York. She was the third of four children between Theodore Raymond Siegfried (d. 1958) and Wilma Farrell Siegfried (d.1991). After her father’s passing, Mary and her family moved to Webb City to be closer to Wilma’s family. Mary quickly made many lifelong friends. Mary was voted ‘Most Humorous’ in the 1968 King Jack Yearbook, and it is the smiles she left that will remain with us most. After high school she attended Missouri Southern College.




Mary lived a full and adventurous life, from seeing concerts such as The Beatles in St. Louis, Sonny and Cher in Tulsa, Ike and Tina Turner, Diana Ross, and even Michael Jackson, to standing where Bobby Kennedy was shot, all while living in Los Angeles in the 70s and 80s. In 1985 she decided to move back to Webb City to have her first and only child, William Christopher Siegfried in 1986.

Mary’s love and devotion to her son is one of the single most defining traits mentioned by those who have learned of her passing. And of the many jobs she had over all her years, it was the one into which she put her soul. 

Mary was gifted two grandchildren, Zachary William (b. 2008), and Thea Mary Michelle (b. 2018). Mary was the third born, and sadly, the third to pass as she lost her younger sister Irene in 2024, and her older brother Theodore “Teddy” in 2006. She is survived by her eldest sister Wilma Anne.

Mary would not want flowers to be cut, but rather she would wish some planted. She loved the color yellow, Lily of the valley, Autumn crocus, and Naked Ladies (A. Belladonna). Services are under the personal care and direction of Simpson Funeral Home.
