Esther "Marie" Siedentopf, age 82, of Lake Village, IN, formerly of Hammond, IN passed away on Friday, March 25, 2022. Esther was born November 18, 1939 to the late Thomas and Martha (Wright) Crook in Schererville, IN.
Esther was very much like her late husband, Bob. She kept really busy and liked to do many crafting projects with her sisters, such as ceramics. She also liked to shop and search antique stores with them, as well. Racking up wins with bowling games, puzzles, Yahtzee, dice, and various card games is how she spent her spare time with her husband for many years. Her grandchildren were the apples of her eye. She made so many memories with them and supported all their wants and needs. She will be forever missed by her friends and family.
She is survived by her devoted children, daughter, Nancy (John) Kick; sons, Michael (Mindy) Siedentopf, and Robert Siedentopf; 13 grandchildren, Jason Kick, Christopher Kerner, Andrew (Abi Jo) Kerner, Nicole (Scott) Conley, Matthew Siedentopf, John P. Kick, Myles Siedentopf, Mikey Siedentopf, Grant Siedentopf, Ryan Siedentopf, Mark Siedentopf, Sydney Siedentopf, and Mia Siedentopf; six great-grandchildren; two brothers, Jim Crook and Bill Crook; and brother-in-law, James Siedentopf.
Esther was preceded in death by her darling husband of 63 years, Henry "Bob" Siedentopf; parents, Thomas and Martha Crook; two daughters, Denise Marie Kerner and Theresa Antoinette “Toni” Siedentopf.
