Bridget Ziarnik
Born in Manitowoc, WI on Nov 03, 1949
Departed on Jan 29, 2010 and resided in Green Bay, WI
Ziarnik, Bridget Ann O'Connell - age 60 of Green Bay, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2010 after a courageous battle with lymphoma.
Bridget was born on November 3, 1949 in Manitowoc, the 4th of 6 children to Gerald and Phyllis O'Connell. She graduated from Manitowoc Lincoln High School in 1967. On July 26, 1969, Bridget married Larry Ziarnik and they had two sons. With stops in Kenosha Wisconsin, South Elgin Illinois and Green Bay Wisconsin, Bridget built many lifelong friendships.
Bridget was a long-time member of St. Bernard's Parish in Green Bay. She dearly loved her family and friends and enjoyed keeping up with all of them. She never missed a sporting event and never forgot a birthday. She enjoyed all things Irish, especially the annual Irishfest in Milwaukee.
Survivors include her loving husband of 40 years, Larry Ziarnik; sons, Mark (Heather) Ziarnik of Grafton and Tim (Amanda) Ziarnik of Atlanta, Georgia; sisters, Jackie (Pat) Arpin and Colleen (Steve) Weber; brothers, Danny (Molly) O'Connell and Pat (Maris) O'Connell; sisters and brothers-in-law, Sandy (Roger) Tangeman and Jim (Beth) Ziarnik; and mother-in-law, Hazel Ziarnik. Bridget is also survived by numerous special nieces, nephews, cousins and friends; her beloved dog, Lucy, and 3 grand-animals.
Bridget was preceded in death by her parents, Gerald and Phyllis O'Connell; sister, Peggy; and father-in-law, Edwin Ziarnik.
We will never forget Bridget's spunk, her knack for storytelling and her genuine kindness. She will be forever loved and very dearly missed. The family would like to thank Dr. Jasowlski, Nurse Practitioner Ruth Bloesl, the 3rd floor nursing staff at St. Mary's Hospital, Deacon Tom Mahoney and his wife Sue Mahoney, and the staff at Unity Hospice for the extraordinary care they provided to Bridget over the past few months.
Visitation will be on Tuesday February 2, 2010 at St. Bernard Parish from 4:00pm. until the time of service. Mass of Christian Burial 7:00pm at the church with Fr. David Pleier officiating and Deacon Tom Mahoney assisting.
In lieu of flowers, the family strongly encourages donations in honor of Bridget. Donations given to the family will be forwarded to The American Cancer Society, Make a Wish Foundation or to Unity Hospice.
