Julia Ann Siefert

Blessed with a loving family and many friends, Julia (Julie) A. Siefert, of Upper Arlington, Ohio, and Naples, Florida, was born February 6, 1928, and passed peacefully at age 98 on September 30, 2026, at home with her immediate family by her side.

Julie is survived by three sons: W.L. Gregory (Pam) Siefert, Tod (Ja’Nel) Siefert, James P. Siefert II; grandchildren: Samantha (Michael Brennan) Siefert, Robert Siefert; great-grandchildren: Alexandra Juliet Brennan, Alden Tod Brennan. Julie was preceded in death by her loving husband of 50 years: James Patrick Siefert; sister: Eugenia Green Walden; daughter-in-law: Mary Ann Siefert; parents: Lawrence (Jupey) and Florilla (Rilla) Walden.

Julie was a 1950 graduate of Ohio University where she was a member of Alpha Xi Delta Sorority and Delta Phi Delta art honorary. Upon graduation she taught art at Jackson City Schools for three years. Julie’s primary interest was her family and community. She was a member of Catherine Black Cancer Ray and past president of Columbus Women’s Dental Auxiliary. She was frequently involved with Beaux Arts of the Columbus Museum of Art. Among her various interests were painting, reading, interior decorating, and traveling. As a child she enjoyed imagining the world from the seat of her father’s car and that passion stayed with her through many adventures in life with friends and family.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Columbus Cancer Clinic (https://www.lifecarealliance.org/donate/).

The family welcomes friends to calling hours at Schoedinger Northwest, 1740 Zollinger Road , on Monday October 26, 2026, from 3:00pm-6:00pm. Our family has chosen to celebrate Julie’s life privately for her interment.
