Belva Jean Zimmerman (1940-2025)

Belva Jean Zimmerman, 84, of Osseo, WI peacefully passed away on Thursday, March 13, 2025. Many friends and family members came to comfort her and each other during her last days.

Jean was born in Augusta, WI on June 17, 1940 to Oscar and Catherine Kuhn. She was one of 6 children. She married Earl Ross Zimmerman on June 18, 1960 and was the mother of 4 children and 1 grandchild.

Jean was a member of Jehovah's Witnesses for 69 years. She had strong confidence in the Bible's promise of a resurrection to life on a paradise earth, and eagerly shared her hope with others. (John 5:28,29; Psalms 37:10,11,29)

Jean was known as a generous, sweet, and gentle soul. She loved listening to music and one of her favorite songs was Mull of Kintyre. She enjoyed harvesting and preserving fruits and vegetables. She especially looked forward to blueberry picking in the summer and going to the apple orchards in the fall. Jean loved to bake and there was always a pie, crisp, or cookie on hand to satisfy the sweet tooth of family and friends that dropped in to visit.

Belva Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Earl and is survived by her daughter Julie (Roger) Hetchler, sons Kevin Zimmerman, Alan (Jessica) Zimmerman, Tracy (Aubry) Zimmerman and their daughter, along with her brother Thomas (Charlene) Kuhn, sister Mary (Thomas) Kamrath, and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, 2025 at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 3400 Horlacher Ln, Eau Claire.
