Sara Eleanor Zierlein, 78

Sara Eleanor Zierlein passed on to be with her Lord on Feb. 1, 2014. She was 78.

Sara was a loving wife, a dedicated mother, and a friend to all. She always had a smile on her face and kind words on her lips. She could brighten any room with the love she constantly showed.

Sara and Edward met in California, and became husband and wife in October 1955. As the spouse of an employee of the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, they traveled to all corners of the world from Japan to Germany, and many places in between. They then enjoyed 20 years of their retired life in beautiful Coeur d’Alene.

Sara is survived by her husband, Edward Zierlein, at the family home; her daughter and son-in-law, Mia and Thomas Conlon, of the home; sisters: Nancy Sampson, White Salmon, Wash., and Candace Brower, Bend, Ore., and brother, Warren Seeds, Las Vegas, Nev., as well as four step-grandchildren: Derrick and Sonja Martin, Clarksville, Tenn., and Justin and Shelly Conlon, Dallas, TX.

Join the family as they celebrate Sara’s life at 5 p.m., Saturday, March 1, 2014, at 701 Pin Oak Dr., DeSoto, TX 75115. Please send memories, photos, wishes, thoughts and prayers [email protected].
