Diane K. Zielinski

“

She was a woman filled with love, compassion, and unwavering devotion to those she held dear.

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Diane Kaye Zielinski, who peacefully passed away surrounded by her loving family on July 3rd, 2026, at the age of 65.

Diane was born on July 1, 1961, in Phillips Wisconsin, to Otto and Velda (Floyd) Holzl. She was raised in Riblake, Wisconsin, where she developed the values of hard work, kindness, and family that would guide her throughout her life. On July 25, 1980, she married the love of her life, Ken Zielinski, beginning a beautiful journey together that spanned nearly 46 years.

More than anything, Diane's greatest joy was her family. She was a woman filled with love, compassion, and unwavering devotion to those she held dear. She gave freely of herself, always putting others before her own needs and making sure everyone around her felt cared for and supported. Her home was a place of warmth, laughter, and unconditional love.

Diane found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed motorcycle rides with loved ones, camping under the stars, drawing and sharing her artistic talents, and traveling to create new memories. Whether spending time with family, visiting with friends, or enjoying a quiet moment creating art, Diane embraced each day with gratitude and a gentle spirit.

A devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother and great-grandmother, caring sister, and treasured friend, Diane touched countless lives with her kind heart and beautiful smile. She had a special gift for making people feel welcome, valued, and loved. Whether offering encouragement, lending a listening ear, or sharing a laugh, she left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Diane is lovingly survived by her husband, Ken Zielinski; her children; Tonya Allen, Robin (Josh)Coppock, Kenneth Zielinski her grandchildren; Holly, Laela, Jamal, Aryonna, Izabella, Oliver and her great-grandchildren, Beau, Nevara, and Leena. She is also survived by her brothers, Dale (Karen) Holzl and Harvey (Leonora) Brzezinski, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will cherish her memory forever.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Otto and Velda Holzl, and her parents-in-law, Lester and Viola Zielinski

Though our hearts ache in her absence, we find comfort in the many precious memories she gave us and, in the love, she shared so freely throughout her life. Diane's strength, kindness, and gentle spirit will continue to live on in all who knew and loved her. Her legacy is one of love, family, and compassion—a legacy that will never fade.

She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
