Carolyn Zorn Obituary
Carolyn Ruth Zorn passed away peacefully at the age of 89, on February 11th, 2023, at Water's Edge Senior Living. She was a loving mother, aunt, sister, and friend to many the Hayward area.
Carolyn was born on March 11th, 1933 in Chicago Il and then grew up in Dekalb, Il with her mother and father, Allen and Alice Hunter, and younger brother, Richard Hunter. In 1953 she was married to Ralph R. Zorn, and went on to have seven children. Once their family was complete, Ralph and Carolyn moved the clan to Hayward, WI in 1972.
Many may have known Carolyn as the "Ice Cream Lady" as she worked in Hayward at West's Dairy for many years. She was always there to provide a smile and a quick- witted conversation to those she handed ice cream cones to. Carolyn also worked at the Hayward Hospital/Nursing Home as a head cook and later retired from Ronning's of Hayward. She adored her children and grandchildren - those who were so proud to call her mom and grandma. They will miss her wonderful sense of humor and loving heart.
Carolyn is preceded in death by her parents, Allan Hunter and Alice Hunter-Bergquist (Robert), and is survived by her seven adult children, seven grandchildren, and one great-grand child. Children: Debra Ann Kirkman (Robert) of Hayward, WI, Dale Roger Zorn (Edith) of Metairie, LA, Daniel Jay Zorn of Hayward, WI, Douglas Allen Zorn (Laura Morrissey) of Gordon, WI, David Andrew Zorn of Barnes, WI, Darren Scott Zorn (Blanca) of North Richland Hills, TX and Darrell Richard Zorn (Gina Wolleat) of New Brighton, MN. Grandchildren: Dylan Zorn who is serving in the Air Force in Europe.
Shannon Zorn-Garza (Jesus) Victoria, TX, parents to great-grandson, Michael Anthony, Meredith Zorn of Metairie, LA, Molly Currie (Taylor) of Saint Paul, MN, Mitchell Zorn of New Brighton, MN, Devin Zorn and Tyler Zorn of New Richland Hills, TX. Brother, Richard Hunter (Laura) of Nashville, TN, and nieces Lisa Hunter Long (Jim) and Paige Meredith Forth (Steve) of Anchorage, AK.
