Dr. Deidre Day Sieck, D.O. of Belmar passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 27, 2018. She was 43.

She was born on April 7, 1975 at Jersey Shore Medical Center.

She went to St. Rose Grammar School and then graduated from St. Rose High School in 1993. It was while she was in high school that she began volunteering every year with the Henry B. King Medical Brigade, which served the sick and poor of Honduras. It was through this work that she developed her deep love of helping sick children and confirmed her desire to become a doctor.

She graduated from the University of Scranton in 1997 and from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2003. She successfully completed her residency at Nemours/Alfred I DuPont Hospital for Children, where she frequently wore her pajamas to entertain the kids.

Deidre was an exceptional doctor to every patient she saw, a loyal friend to every person she met, a master cupcake maker for all St. Rose bake sales, a devoted wife to a husband she "enjoyed" molding daily but her greatest gift, her greatest accomplishment, was that of being a mother…and she was second to none.

Deidre loved and cherished her children more than anything. She was, without question, the unprecedented and undeniable leader of "Team Sieck," with the Sieck boys playing the role of faithful followers. As team leader, she enjoyed meticulously planning trips to Disney, day trips to New York City that included Broadway plays, the Lego Store and Dylan's Candy Bar.

Deidre was predeceased by her daughter, Agnes Keena Sieck and her mother, Sharon Keena Day. Deidre is survived by her loving husband, Francis Sieck and her sons, Liam, Finnian and Tadhg, her father Steven Day and many beloved aunts, uncles and cousins.

Visitation will be on from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 1, at the Reilly Bonner Funeral Home, 801 D Street, in Belmar, NJ. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Monday at the church of St. Rose, Belmar.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Deidre's memory can be made to St. Rose Grammar School c/o Claire Rachich, 605 6th Ave, Belmar, NJ 07719.
