In Loving Memory of Kathryn Ellen Zieger

Kathryn Ellen Zieger, lovingly known as Kat, was born on October 1, 1974, in Idaho Falls, Idaho and passed from this life on October 22, 2026, in Loveland, Colorado, at the age of 52.

Kat was a vibrant, energetic woman with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She had a remarkable way of making people feel at home, ensuring that everyone she encountered felt seen, welcomed, and valued. Her presence filled a room, and her warmth left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Above all, Kat loved her family fiercely. Her husband, Zach, held a special place in her heart. He was her companion, her partner, and the one with whom she shared the everyday moments that make life together so meaningful. Kat loved being his wife, a mother to her children, and Honey to her precious granddaughter, Korbyn Vienna. Her family was her greatest joy, and she embraced each of them with all her heart.

Kat shared an especially close bond with her sister, Theresa Stump. More than sisters, they were best friends. They talked every day, sharing life's joys and challenges, offering encouragement, laughter, and unwavering support for each other.

Kat's faith in Jesus Christ was central to her life. Her relationship with God provided a foundation for the way she lived and cared for others. She demonstrated her faith through generosity, compassion, and genuine concern for those around her. Kat was a member of Vintage City Church in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Kat will be remembered for her infectious energy, her joyful spirit, and her ability to make ordinary moments unforgettable. She lived with passion, embraced those around her wholeheartedly, and created memories that will be cherished for generations. Though her absence leaves an immeasurable ache, her influence will continue through the lives she touched.

Kathryn is survived by her beloved husband, Zachery Zieger; her children, Grant Hartman and Akayna Calkins, Kamryn and Dakota Pace, Prestyn Hartman and Eden Borunda, Branson Zieger, and Addison Zieger; and her precious granddaughter, Korbyn Vienna Pace, who lovingly knew her as Honey. She is also survived by her parents, Cap and Kay Benthin; her sister, Theresa Stump, and brother-in-law, Jacob Stump; and her nieces and nephews, Macey and Stormy Spikes, Bailey and Jon-Calvin Chance, and Bannon Stump, along with extended family members and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.

She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Ramona Osgood.

The memorial service will be held on November 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Vintage City Church, 1501 Academy Court, Suite 101, Fort Collins, CO.

Kat brought laughter, warmth, and love wherever she went. Life will not be quite the same without her, but the memories she gave us will always be treasured
