Carrie Kolm, 37, of Wessington, died Monday, August 5 at the Avera Hand County Memorial Hospital in Miller. Her memorial service will be 3:00 p.m., Friday, August 9 at the Wessington Presbyterian Church with Rev. Beth Kelsey officiating.
Carolyn ?Carrie? Kimberly Kolm was born June 20, 1976 to Michael ?Mick? and Dawn Kolm at Schuyler NE. After her father?s death in1980, her family moved to near Redding CA. She graduated from an eighth grade rural school in a class of six students; she then graduated from Red Bluff High School in 1994. Afterwards, she moved to Sacramento and worked in Alzheimer care.
She came to Corsica SD to help her mother, where she met Joseph Sievers, the love of her life, at an auction. After a brief courtship they decided to spend the rest of their life together. Carrie worked at Good Samaritan Living Center in Miller and on construction projects with Joe.
Carrie was always interested in nature, watching her birds, loving killdeer in particular, and stopping for turtles on the road. Her mother and step-father, Dawn and Bill Holtz, worked for Game, Fish and Parks of California, where she grew up outdoors gaining a love of the natural world. One day she surprised Joe with a 75 pound snapping turtle in the trunk of her car. Joe was not impressed. She loved dancing, and always watched Sponge Bob Square Pants when she needed to relax. She loved cartoons that made her laugh and movies that would scare the pants off her. Joe loved jumping around the corner and scaring her.
They were totally surprised by the blessing of Kimberly Grace Sievers on Nov. 16, 2010. Kimberly changed their life forever with her beauty and bubbly personality.
Carrie was preceded in death by her father in 1980 and sister, Tracey, in 2003. She is survived by her mother Dawn (Bill) Holtz of Oleta OK, and Joseph and Kimberly Sievers of Wessington SD.

you were a dear friend that i havnt seen in years may you fly high with the angels
You are a wonderful lady and I will miss you. I was blessed and so was Dylan with your presence if but for a short time.
My condolences to an old friend from Las Vegas. Carrie, Dawn, and Tracey lived near us and my brother dated Tracey while Carrie and I became buddies because we were closer in age. I am very saddened to hear of both of their passings. I hope she is at peace. God bless.
I looked for you many times, unfortunately this time I found this.
So sorry to hear of her passing. My daughter and her met at Plum Valley Elementary in Paynes Creek California ( close to Mt Lassen). They were friends in High School. I know she’d been looking to reconnect with Carrie. I remember she was bright and joyful. Blessings to all. So sorry for your loss.
