Carla Zackery Obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Carla Lynne Zackery, beloved mother, cherished friend, and dedicated professional, who departed this life on July 19, 2025, at the age of 63. Carla was born on December 4, 1961, in Detroit, Michigan. Despite ending much too early, she lived a full and vibrant life.
Carla was a proud graduate of high school and embarked on a fulfilling career in retail management, where she was known for her strong work ethic and ability to connect with others. Her warmth and kindness resonated with colleagues and customers alike, leaving a lasting impact on those who had the pleasure to know her.
Carla is survived by her loving children, Natasha Zackery, Brian Zackery, Bernard Zackery and William Zackery. Her legacy of love, strength, and resilience will continue to shine brightly through them.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Carla's life and memory at funeral services that will take place at the James H. Cole Home for Funerals - Northwest Chapel. A Family Hour will commence on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at 12:30pm, followed by the Funeral Service at 1:00pm. A Public Viewing will also be held on Tuesday, July 29th, from 3:00pm to 9:00pm, offering an opportunity for all who loved her to pay their respects.
In this time of sorrow, we remember Carla not just for her accomplishments, but for the love and joy she brought into every life she touched. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
