Baby Zoey M. Zielonko

Beautiful Zoey Marie Zielonko went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 29, 2018. Born on April 18, 2017, her short lifetime brought a lifetime of joy to everyone around her, with her vivacious smile, sparkling eyes and boundless energy. Her endless curiosity and love of exploring kept everyone around her on their toes and smiling. Confident, smart and brave, Zoey left this world a better place for everyone who had the chance to spend time with her. She is survived by her parents, Quinn and Amanda Zielonko; Grandparents Fred and Lori Zielonko and Doug and Sheila Smith; Uncle Connor Zielonko and wife Anna, Uncle Michael Smith and wife Kelsie and first cousin Shae; Great Grandparents Kenny and Joyce Smith, Bill and Ina Lowis, and Florence Zielonko; and countless aunts, uncles, cousins and so many others who just loved to be with her. She is preceded in death by her great grandparents, Ken and Faye LaRue and Dr. Walter Zielonko. She is entertaining them with her dance moves right now.

A memorial service will be held at the Christian Community Center, 510 S. Lincoln Drive, Troy, MO on Sunday, October 7, with visitation from 2 to 3:30PM and memorial service from 3:30 to 4PM.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Chesterfield Community Church, 14647 Ladue Rd., Chesterfield MO 63017 or the SUDC Foundation at SUDC.org.

    Our love & prayers will be with you for peace through your memories. We can understand & appreciate the devastation your family is feeling at this time. Maybe someday we will understand why we have to lose our children & grandchilren much too soon. Until then I pray God will walk with you all each step of the way & give you strength in your weakest times. I’m so very sorry for your loss. God bless you all. Thinking of you, Ken & Joyce.

    God bless your family at this time of such profound grief. Nothing is harder than the loss of a child. The only thing that carried us through was the knowledge that we would see our son again one day, but the sadness is so very deep. May you find peace, and please know that you are in the prayers of many.

    I don’t know you but I lost my little Michele when she was 28 months old. My heart goes out to you because the grief and missing are so hard. I turned to the Lord and trusted Him to take care of her. He has after all of this time – just keep remembering she is with the Lord (who created her and loves her the way you do) and He will heal your broken hearts. My prayers are with you also – Chris Terbrock
