Carol Marie Zietz, age 75 of Monticello, MN, passed away Thursday, April 20, 2023. She was born July 23, 1947 to Raymond and Marcelin (Vornbrock) Warner.

Carol was born in Melrose, MN and grew up in Fargo, ND. She graduated from Central High School in Fargo, with the class of 1966.

Carol was a dedicated chef at NDSU (West Dining Center) for 34 years. Carol met Jerry Zietz while both working in food service at NDSU. Carol and Jerry married on July 9, 1983 in Fargo, ND where they raised their daughter Naomi.

Carol will forever be remembered for her incredibly skilled hands, both in the kitchen and creating things. She enjoyed baking annual Christmas treats, wedding cakes, and donuts at Bonazaville with her husband. She helped prepare dozens of turkeys for the less fortunate for many years and for the yearly St. Anthony’s bizarre. Carol had a true gift for crafting, sewing and gardening.

Carol’s grandsons were her greatest enjoyment in life. She was the most dedicated and loving grandma one could have! Carol’s humble and selfless personality will be greatly missed.
