Barbara Francis Zielinski, 76, of Bay City, our kindhearted, amazing, loving, and most selfless mother, grandma, sister, aunt, and friend passed away on Wednesday, September 2, 2020. Barb was born in Bay City on May 15, 1944, the daughter of the late Norbert “Norm” and Gladys (Blackburn) Martin. While youngsters, Barb happened to meet the love of her life, Phillip Zielinski. They dated, fell in love, and were united in marriage on September 25, 1971 after Phil’s return from Vietnam. Sadly, Phil preceded Barb in death on August 8, 2020. Barb will forever be remembered for her warm smile and welcoming personality. A strong-willed woman, Barb was a Stage IV cancer survivor and a true inspiration to all. Barb leaves to cherish her memory, her daughter, Jenny Zielinski and Jennifer Levengood, who was like a daughter to her. Barb was the most loving “Grandma Barbie” to Riley Levengood, who was her favorite coloring and Hallmark movie buddy. She also leaves her sister, Beverly (Eric) Zimostrad; nephew, Warren (Bryana Hopkins) Zimostrad; niece, Alecia (Daryl) Dimon, and great-nephew, Stas Dimon, along with many friends.
