Raymond Donald Siemens

March 25, 1935 - March 17, 2023

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Raymond Donald (Don) Siemens on March 17, 2023 at the age of 87 after a long illness. Don was an electrician in the Royal Canadian Navy for 25 years serving on many different ships including the submarines HMCS Grilse and Rainbow. He also worked for 8 years with Saint John Shipbuilding helping to build new frigates for the Navy.

Don is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Dorothy Siemens (nee Mayne); sister Carolyn Treleaven (Jim); daughters Dawn Law (Sean), and Sandy McDonald (Mike); grandchildren Kevin (Lindsay), Meagan (Wes), James (Brandy), Heather (Brandon), and Seana (Tim); great grandchildren Colton, Wesley, Cassandra, Zelda, Izzy, and Kaden. He was pre deceased by his daughter Valerie, mother Mary, father Frank, brothers Boyd, Dennis and Leonard, sisters Anne, Marge, Stella and Irene.

Don was proud to serve his country and most proud of his long, happy marriage. He always said the key to a happy marriage was saying, “yes dear, you are right, I am sorry!” Don was an avid card player and especially loved Crib. Over the years Don participated in a variety of sports - fastball, squash, golf, running and in later years, took his daily walks very seriously.

Anchors Away Don.
