Memorial held for accident victims, Leo and Thelma Siers

A graveside service for Leo J. Siers, 55, a manufacturers' representative for suppliers of rubber and plastic products, and his wife, Thelma Jean, 52, owner of two West Seattle daycare centers, was held Friday in Deer Park, Spokane County.

Mr. and Mrs. Siers were killed last Sunday in a head-on automobile collision 13.5 miles south of Port Townsend on Highway 101.

The Rosary and Mass of Christian Burial for the couple was held here.

Mr. and Mrs. Siers, both born in Deer Park, came to Seattle in 1950.

Mr. Siers was a graduate of Gonzaga University in Spokane. He was a lieutenant and pilot in the Navy during World War II. He had owned the Atlas Packing and Rubber Co., and was chairman of the board of the Houston Co., manufacturers of rubber and plastic products. He also was a broker here for several other companies.

Mrs. Siers was a founder of the Hi-Yu Art Center in West Seattle. After selling the center, she became owner and operator of A.B.C. Child Services and the Avalon Day Campus in West Seattle. She also was co-owner of the Aqua Barn Day Care Center in Maple Valley.

Mr. Siers was a past president of the Society of Plastic Engineers, and a member of the Sales and Marketing Executives of Seattle.

Mrs. Siers was a member of the Child Hearing League, and a former member of Ryther Four-and-Twenty Clubs.

Surviving the couple are a son, Steffan J. Siers, and a daughter, Janene M. Siers, both of Seattle.

Mr. Siers also is survived by a brother, William Siers, Spokane, and two sisters, Mrs. Audrey Harmon, Spokane, and Mrs. Helen Loew, Newport, Pend Oreille County.

Remembrances may be made to the Child Hearing League or a charity of the donor's choice.

Two middle-aged couples were killed yesterday afternoon in a head-on collision 13½ miles south of Port Townsend on Highway 101, the State Patrol reported.

Troopers reported that the accident occurred at 2:50 p.m. when a car driven by Robert A. Muir, 59, Reading, Mass., swerved over the centerline into the path of a station wagon driven by Leo J. Siers, 56, of 5511 S.W. Hanford St., Seattle.

Muir and his wife, Gertrude, 56, were pronounced dead at the scene, as was Siers, whose wife, Thelma, 52, died at Harborview Medical Center several hours after the collision.
