Mary A. (Sardinski) Zigon

Mary A. Zigon, 90, of Forest City, died Tuesday morning at the Forest City Nursing and Rehab Center. Her husband Clarence Zigon passed away in 1976.

Born March 13, 1934, in Forest City, she was the daughter of the late Bruno and Sophie Sardinski. She was a graduate of Forest City High School and a lifetime member of Sacred Heart Church.

She had worked as a sewing machine operator at local garment factories and had retired from the Forest City Nursing Center where she had been a housekeeping supervisor. She was a 19 year member of “Palette Pals” art class and produced numerous oil paintings. She also volunteered at the polls in local elections and for Red Cross blood drives.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Forest City Nursing and Rehab Center for the compassionate care given to Mary.
