Karen M. (Nelson) Ziembo

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Karen M. Ziembo, who left us peacefully on July 27, 2025. Karen’s vibrant spirit and loving heart will be profoundly missed by all that knew her.

A private graveside service for Karen will take place at a later date.

Born with a green thumb, Karen found immense joy and tranquility in her garden. Her beautiful flowers and thriving plants were a testament to her patience and care, mirroring the way she nurtured her family. Beyond the garden, Karen had a spirited love for gambling, embracing the thrill of the game with a twinkle in her eye and an infectious laugh. Yet, above all else, Karen, cherish her family time. These moments filled with laughter, stories, and unwavering love were the treasures of her life.

Karen’s beautiful legacy continues to unfold through her cherished daughters, Debbie and her devoted husband, Mike. Their children, Jeffrey and Gina (Dillon) embody the next generation of her love and light, and the tiny sparks if joy her great grandchildren, Danika and Jaxson, will grow up knowing the magic of their great-grandmother through the stories passed down. Her other daughter, Julie and her dear husband, Don, will also carry Karen’s memory in their hearts. Karen is further survived by her brother-in-law, Larry Ziembo.

Karen now reunites with her beloved husband, LeRoy Ziembo, who awaits her with open arms, ready to waltz and polka through eternity together. She is preceded in spirit by her loving parents, Kermit and Mae Nelson; parents-in-law, Emma and Phillip Ziembo and sister-in-law, Margaret Ziembo.

Karen’s warmth, generosity, and zest for life touched countless lives. She will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family, her cheerful spirit, and the beautiful memories she created with everyone around her.
