Lola Mae Goslar Sievers passed away on Thursday, Feb. 8, 2018, at her home near Ute.

Services will be on Tuesday, Feb. 13 at 10:30 a.m. at St. John Lutheran Church in Charter Oak, Iowa with the Rev. Merrill officiating. Burial will be at St. John's Cemetery in Charter Oak. Visitation will be on Monday evening, Feb. 12 from 4-7 p.m. with a prayer service at 6:30 p.m. at Huebner Funeral Home in Charter Oak.

Lola was born on Oct. 22, 1918, about one-half mile east of Berne, Iowa. She was the daughter of Edward Goslar and Lena (Rosburg) Goslar. She was baptized in Christ Dec. 8, 1918 and confirmed her faith at St. John Lutheran Church in Charter Oak on June 12, 1932, by the Rev. Amstein. She was a member of St. John's all her life.

Lola attended rural and Lutheran school in Charter Oak through the sixth grade, after which she helped her parents during the depression years. She worked at different homes, including a doctor's home in Battle Creek, Iowa. Lola and one of her sisters even worked for 25 cents a week for a neighbor.

On Sept. 7, 1941, Lola and Herbert Sievers were married at St. John Lutheran Church by the Rev. Walter Schrader. To this union, two children were born, a son, Larry in 1942 and daughter, Joan in 1945.

Her pride and joy were her family and especially her great-granddaughters. She was a hard-working farmer's wife, who loved baking, her chickens, gardening and helping on the farm. She had strong religious convictions and supported her church and enjoyed her neighbors and community.

Survivors include daughter, Joan Nobbe of Ute; two granddaughters, Norma Jo Majerus of West Des Moines and Christi (Anup) Kejriwal of Issaquah, Wash.; three great-granddaughters, Amaya, Sanya and Lizzie; four sisters, Wilma Sievers, Irma (Lavern) Wessel, Jean Goslar and Shirley Gosch; one brother, Ronald (Lou Ann) Goslar; one brother-in-law, Henry Klockgether; other relatives; and friends.

Preceding her in death were her parents; husband, Herbert; her son, Larry; son-in-law, Norman; brothers, Phillip and Edward; sister, Audrey; several in-laws; nieces; and nephews.

A special thank you to Hospice of Siouxland for the support and care you provided.
