Obituary of Alice Zeigler

On June 19, 2024, at the age of 89, Alice Zeigler, a beloved mother and grandmother, affectionately known to all as Nanny, passed away peacefully in bed with family at her side, bringing a sense of comfort and closure to those who loved her. 

Born September 18, 1934, to the late Nelson and Mildred Sutton, Alice was a caring and loving woman who was active with the church, loved to read, and cherished children. She loved to sew and quilt and made many “Nanny Blankets” that adorn her family's couches in winter. After her retirement in 1999 from Lipton, Alice kept busy by volunteering at Norwescap and Meals on Wheels. 

Alice was preceded in death by her husband, George Zeigler, with whom she shared 42 happy years, her brothers Nelson, Earl, and Donald Sutton, her sisters Bernice Rush and Kathryn Kindrew and her grandson Nelson W. Zeigler, Jr. 

She is survived by her brothers Elmer, Tony, and Joey Sutton and step-brothers Tom and Pat Geziz, her children (and their spouses) Alice (Ted), Elaine, Lou Ann, Sharon (Pete), George (Kathi), Albert (Luanne), Nelson, and John, and 64 grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren that she was blessed with as well as many nieces and nephews. 

Her loved ones will remember her as the no-nonsense, strong-willed woman she was, who cared deeply and loved even more deeply. 

Visitation for family and friends will be held on Saturday, June 22^nd from 10:00 am until 12:00pm with a celebration of Alice’s life beginning at 12:00pm at Knoll-DeVoe Funeral Home & Cremation Service, located at 142 West Washington Avenue Washington, NJ 07882.
