On Saturday, October 14th, 2023, Sarah Lorraine Ziegler, loving wife, mother, sister, and daughter, passed away at the age of 36, after a valiant battle with cancer.

Sarah was born August 31, 1987, to Bernie and Jolene (Albers) Knox in El Paso, Texas. She spent most of her childhood in Rhinelander, WI. On October 4th, 2008, Sarah married her high school sweetheart, Christopher Ziegler, in Wausau, WI. Sarah earned her bachelor’s degree in education from UW-Stevens Point in 2010.

Sarah resided in Weston, WI with her husband and children. She devoted her life to raising her children and making memories with her family. Sarah enjoyed boating, camping, and traveling with her family. Sarah also enjoyed crocheting, sewing, and baking.

Sarah cared deeply for those in her life. She was a steady fixture at her kids’ sporting events, dance rehearsals, and recitals. Sarah put her whole self into everything that she did. Whether it was a birthday party, a holiday meal, a family vacation, helping her children through milestones—every detail was prepared for in an effort to allow others to thrive and shine.
