Glennys (Tyser) Ziegler 94, of Crete, was born June 12, 1928, and passed away May 26, 2023.
Glennys grew up on a small farm outside of Beatrice. She graduated from Doane College with a degree in physics and math, married Don Ziegler and created and cared for their family across Nebraska, Germany, South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. Glennys was curious, inclusive and kind. She was an observer and a listener, truly caring to know each person she met. She loved reading, learning, asking questions, being with family and friends and giving to her community. She was intensely interested in nature and the world, both local and global. Her presence will be missed by all.
She is survived by five children: Vicki (Ziegler) and Bryce Abel of Ames, Iowa; Kirk and Kathy (Van Tuyl) Ziegler of Beatrice; Deb Ziegler and Nance Bell of Taos, New Mexico; Sharon Ziegler-Chong and Gordon Tribble of Papaikou, Hawaii; and Jeff Ziegler of Lincoln; eight grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. A Celebration of Life was June 1 at the United Church of Christ in Crete. Memorial contributions may go to the Don and Glennys (Tyser) Ziegler Scholarship Fund at Doane College.
