Roy Lee Sier Sr.

Roy Lee Sier Sr., 69, passed away in the early morning of Sunday, June 26, 2016, at Conway Medical Center in Conway, South Carolina. He was the beloved husband of Darlene Ann Sier, whom he married January 12, 1968.

Born on July 8, 1946 in Frederick, Maryland, he was the son of the late Leroy Upton and Nellie Sier (Brill). Roy grew up in Monrovia, MD, and attended Linganore High School, where he was a member of the school's track and field program. He served in the United States Army for two years before receiving an "Honorable Discharge" when his younger brother passed away in 1964. Throughout the remainder of his life, he was employed by Montgomery County Dept. of Transportation; Lowes Home Improvement; Masters Security, as a Security Officer (Supervisor) for the Department of Energy; and MCI, which later became Verizon through a merger, from which he retired in early 2015, after 28 years, as a Manager within the Security office. Roy was a great fan of westerns, especially John Wayne westerns. He enjoyed working on cars, and was a member of the Catoctin Mountain Hot Rod Association throughout the 80s. He also enjoyed hunting with his friends during his avid hunting years, and during this time he was a member of the Foggy Mountain Hunting Club, where each year during Thanksgiving came a hunting trip that he looked forward to with his longtime friend, Leon Cannon, of Keedysville, Maryland.

In addition to his wife, Roy is survived by his children, Roy Lee Sier, Jr. and wife Rose, and Rita Frickman Badgett (Sier) and husband Guy; grandchildren, Michael Allen Frickman and fiancé Amanda Marie Cacchione, Amanda Nikole Frickman, Ryan Wesley Badgett, Brandon Carle Badgett, Branden LeRoy Sier and Bradley Alan Sier; his brother, Roland Lee Sier and half-sister, Betty Morgan; brother-in-laws Grayson Rippeon and wife Lynne, Terry Rippeon and wife Kathy, Michael Rippeon and wife Sheila; sister-in-laws Kathy Baugher and husband Marty, Brenda Landis and husband John, and Cindy Rippeon-Kehne and husband Kevin; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two siblings, Ronnie Lee Sier and Rebecca (Becky) Lee House.

Roy will be cremated in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. A memorial service will be held in Frederick, Maryland, where his family will receive friends from 2-3pm on Sunday, July 17, 2016 at the Keeney & Basford Funeral Home, 106 E.
