Susan Zielinski Obituary

Zielinski, Susan M. Mar. 3, 1948 - Sept. 16, 2018. I was born March 3, 1948 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Alfred and Vera (nee Kowalchuck) Zielinski, who have pre-deceased me. I had a loving life with many relatives and friends who helped me throughout my life. I am further survived by cousins Karen (nee Stehlik) and the late Ken Peck, James (Mary Ann) Stehlik, Ellen (nee Stehlik) and Kevin Todryk. I was honored to be godmother to Christopher (Michelle) Todryk and Terry (Danielle) Peck. I was an honored aunt to the most wonderful nieces, nephews and great- nieces and nephews and their families. I'd also like to send a special thank you to my dear girl friend Sandy (Sam) Ludwig and Paul Wiechert for putting up with me all these years. Another thank you to my dear friend Ramona (Chet) Malkowski for having a strong shoulder. Also a very large thank you to my wonderful neighbors, Ken Schmidt, Sue Kenealy and Bill and Ana Rutherford. I worked for 42 years at Tankstar USA. For 26 of those years, I was honored to work for Dan Bulinski. I made and have many great friends from Tankstar. Everyone who knew me, knew of my love for plants and flowers. Since I'm not there to enjoy them, memorials to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission or The Wisconsin Humane Society would be appreciated. But when you see a flower, please think of me. Finally, thank you to everyone I've ever known. You all contributed to my life and the person I became. Funeral Services will be held at the Funeral Home Thursday at 6 PM with visitation from 4 PM until the time of service.
