Kerry D. Ziehl

Kerry D. (Wagner) Ziehl, daughter of Leo and Viola Wagner and the youngest of fourteen children, passed away peacefully on December 28, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love that will continue through generations.

Kerry was a devoted and cherished mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her heart was rooted in her family, and her greatest joy was found in the moments shared with those she loved most. Her warmth, strength, and gentle presence shaped the lives of many and will never be forgotten.

She is lovingly survived by her children, Renee (Aaron) Reid and Randy Ziehl; her grandchildren, Isiah (Courtney) Reid, Brooklyn (Larry) Reid, Chandler (Leah) Reid, Acelee Haskins, and Harlee Haskins; and her great-grandchildren, Ryker, Maezie, and Hudson Varnell, with Baby Reid expected in April 2026.

Though her hands have been laid to rest, her love remains—woven into the laughter, memories, and hearts of all who knew her. Her life was a beautiful reminder that love is the greatest gift we leave behind.

A Celebration of Life honoring Kerry will be held at the Conesville Community Center on January 18, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Family and friends are warmly invited to share stories, memories, and reflections as we come together to celebrate her life and the love she gave so freely.

“Love leaves a memory no one can take away.”
