Jean Estelle Campbell Ziebron went to her rest in the Lord, December 5, 2010, in Hollister, CA aged 88.
Adored wife of Stanley Ziebron to whom she was devoted for 67 years. Most beloved mother of Michael (Barbara) and Bill (Karen) Ziebron, grandmother of Elizabeth Ziebron, Melissa Buckley (Joe), Joseph Ziebron and Daniel Ziebron.
Born in Portage, PA, September 22, 1922. Predeceased by mother, Lucinda Long Campbell, father, James Campbell and sister, Margaret Campbell Freeman.
Stan’s World War II service in the Coast Guard took them to Myrtle Beach, SC, Salem, MA, and New York Harbor where she supported and loved him during those years and all that were to follow.
After many years in Detroit, MI, she helped blaze a trail to California and settled in Menlo Park.
Jean taught her family and friends about passion and love for life and good times. She was a wonderful mother and advocate for her children, and attended all of their baseball, basketball, and football games in Menlo Park and at Bellarmine.
She was a vocal and positive supporter of her sons and she was always proud of all that they accomplished.
Jean persevered in her quest to become a Daughter of the American Revolution and has a chair in Constitution Hall in Washington, DC dedicated to her ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War.
Jean loved to host her family and friends, and was a creative and wonderful cook, craftsperson, and collector of antique prints and furnishings. She could light up a room, and she could also put you in your place at the same time. She was a modern Victorian.
In later years, Stan and Jean restored an historical landmark home in Carson City, NV, and hosted tours of their home during the annual historical society open house.
Mass of Resurrection on Saturday, December 11, 2010, at 11:00 A.M. at Immaculate Conception Church, 7290 Airline Highway, Tres Pinos, CA. Reception for family and friends to follow in the parish hall. Contributions may be made to your local historical society or to the Alzheimer’s Association.
