I remember fondly the Ziebarth family being neighbors for many, many years. Your mom always made everyone feel welcome in her home. More recently she shared a room at Extended Care with my mother and remembered many things I had not thought of in years. We are sorry for your loss, but know that she is in a much better place.

My payers and thoughts are with the family,. I remember so well all the “milk” runs and how she and Shirley could hoist those milk cans into the truck. Frances was a very hard worker and she lived a good life. God be with each of you she left behind.

J Johnson says
Dear family of Frances Leila Ziebarth – I am sorry to hear of your loss. Even after a relatively long life, we naturally have the desire to continue to enjoy life because God put eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11). It was never God’s intention for us to suffer or die. In the beginning, all of his creation was without defect and it could said that everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Death was introduced through Adam’s disobedience (Romans 5:12). There will soon come a time when no one will be sick (Isaiah 33:24). Also the Bible promises a resurrection of dear family members and friends that we have lost (John 5:28, 29). I hope you are comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
Fern Carey Griggs says
Sorry to hear of your loss. Growing up in Kinsey I knew both families, the Ziebarths and Myrans. Yes, I remember the “milk truck” we;; coming to pick up my parents milk!! Attended grade school with Alice, Glen and Orville. Both Frannie and Franis were good neighbors to my parents Vic and Anna when they moved to Miles City.
Ross and Gay Miller says
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ziebarth during time of loss.
Shirley Rolf says

Thinking of you all. Parents are that link that keeps us all together and there is a very real void when we lose them. The legacy goes on and memories are the treasure we keep. Blessings of peace and comfort.

My deepest condolences for all the family and friends that Fran touched. I pray you find comfort in the memories you hold of her wonderful long life.
