It is with sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Mrs. Kathleen “Kathy” Sieben. She passed away the afternoon of February 2, 2019 in Orange, California from a traumatic brain injury and complications resulting from a fall she sustained on January 26, 2019. Kathy was a beloved wife, daughter, sister and aunt.

Kathy was born July 13, 1955 in La Jolla, California to Esther Imogene Bakes and Marcel Antonio Joseph Gauthier.

She graduated from Claremont High School in Claremont, California in 1973. She went to California State University Long Beach and received her Degree in Business and Merchandising in 1978. She was a member of the Delta Delta Delta National Sorority. She started her career working as a Buyer at Buffum’s Department Store in Long Beach, CA. She then transitioned into the high-tech electronics industry as a sales representative and worked in that field for approximately fifteen years. In recent years Kathy worked at the Jewelry Box of Lake Forest, California.

On October 12, 1985 she married the love of her life, Dan Sieben. They were wed in Southern California. They started their married life in Huntington Beach, California and then moved to Lake Forest, California. Kathy has no children of her own but was the best Aunt to niece Candice and nephew Christopher anyone could ever have. Kathy dearly loved her pets and was the best “doggie” mommy ever.

Kathy enjoyed family gatherings and traveled the world with family. She had a special love of the Hawaiian Islands and traveled there over 30 times. She loved the Aloha spirit.

She was a very generous loving person, always thinking of others and would do anything to help family and friends. She had such a deep loving, caring devotion of family and friends and in turn she was loved by all.
