Alma Loraine

Siecinski

Alma Loraine (Wissink) Siecinski was born on March 14, 1930, to Theordore and Gertrude (Kaufman) Wissink in Chewelah, Washington, the youngest of 10.

Alma attended St. Anthony’s grade school and graduated from Marycliff High School with the class of 1948.

She met Joseph J. (Johnny) Siecinski at a USO dance while he was stationed at Fairchild. They married at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church on October 14, 1954.

Alma and Johnny moved into their forever home in May 1956. After Johnny preceded her in death in June 2004, Alma continued caring for their home through the years.

Alma retired from the Spokane County Treasurer’s Office in 1990 after 24½ years of service.

Alma was dedicated to community service and was a true follower of Christ as her fellow members of Lourdes would attest. As one of her great-nieces shared, “She was a great role model and always led with kindness and warmth.”

One of her nephews fondly recalled how her baked goods appeared at every family event. Alma never missed a gathering of the kids and was honored to be included in occasions such as the Niece & Nephew Seafood extravaganza.

Alma leaves behind neighbors, friends, and family who felt blessed to know her and honored to be part of her community.

Services and reception will be held at the Cathedral of Our Lady Lourdes. The rosary will be held on November 15th, 4PM and the funeral Mass will be held on November 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. The lunch reception will immediately follow. Interment will be at 1:30 p.m. at Holy Cross Cemetery.
