Burnett Dean Siegfried's Obituary
Burnett Dean Siegfried born July 5th, 1928 went to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 17th, 2011. He was preceded in death by parents Henry and Louise Siegfried. Survived by wife Joy, son Kerry and his wife Sandy, daughters Teresa Lynch and her husband Mike, Vicky Nigro and her husband Lou, Julie Roberts and her husband Ed, and Lisa Roberts and her husband Mark; 11 grandchildren, 13 great grand children, and 3 future great grand children. Also survived by his brother Edward and sister Virginia Wynn and her husband Jack. He was a native Tulsan and after service in the army during the Korean War, he joined his father, Henry, in the family business, Siegfried Motor Company. Subsequently, he started Save-On Auto parts, a successful auto parts chain in the West Tulsa area. After selling his auto parts business, he retired and dedicated his time to his church, Christ the Redeemer Lutheran Church, as the business manager. This was a joyous time in giving back to his Lord and Savior and the church he loved and where he was a charter member. The children in the Christ the Redeemer's Early Childhood Program thought that he lived in the ceiling because they often saw him replacing ceiling tiles. He was a loving and caring husband to his soul mate Joy for 47 years. Burnett was also a loving dad, papaw, and great papaw to his children, grand children, and great grandchildren, with 3 great grand children on the way, one of which will carry on his beloved name. His hobbies included gardening, crossword puzzles and he was a big fan of Wheel of Fortune and Fox News. He loved all family gatherings and especially enjoyed Christmas when all of his family gathered. Burnett was a faithful and humble servant of the Lord his entire life. He loved Jesus and lived his life dedicated to the love Christ showed through his only begotten Son. He was blessed with the gift of service. Dad we will always love you and will always try to carry on with your faithfulness and the family values that you have taught us. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Burnett's name to Christ the Redeemer Lutheran Church Early Childhood Development a program he loved.
