Mary A. Ziegler

Mary A. Ziegler, 77, of the Town of Gale, passed away Monday, September 21, 2026.

Mary was born March 5, 1949, to Ben and Lavon (Mahutga) Amundson. Mary grew up with her family in Norway Valley and attended Arcadia High School. On August 2, 1969, Mary married Roger Lee Ziegler, beginning a life together filled with family and many treasured memories. Together, they raised three sons: Greg, Craig and Daniel. Mary was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her family was one of her greatest blessings. Guarantee, if you came into her kitchen hungry you didn’t leave that way. Mary was deeply rooted in her faith, which remained the source of strength and guidance throughout her life.

Mary is lovingly remembered by her husband, Roger; her sons and their families: Greg (Sandra) Ziegler, and sons Thomas Ziegler and Austin (Friend Morgan and daughter Posie) Ziegler; Craig (Kim) Ziegler and family Kyle (Carmen) Linberg, Aaron (Amanda) Ziegler, (Mila, Dax, and Wells), Rachel (Hunter) Korish (Liam, and Paxton); Daniel (Kim) Ziegler and family Gauge Griffin and Riley Ziegler; also survived by her siblings: Roger (Janet) Amundson of Trempealeau, Helen (Mike) Mikrut of Trempealeau, Bill (Jane) Amundson of Arcadia; sister-in-law, Ruth Amundson of Chippewa Falls.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents; brothers-in-law: LaVerne, Harold; sister-in-law, Evelyn; and her brother, Ken.

Perhaps what will be remembered most is simply Mary – her kindness, her gentle spirit and that unforgettable giggle. Her warmth had a way of making those around her feel loved.

A funeral service for Mary was held Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in Trempealeau. Pastor Lisa Shank officiated.
