ZWICKER

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lena Marie Zwicker of Middle River. Lena, 76, passed away peacefully on June 6, 2026, while receiving the extraordinary care and compassion of Heart to Heart In-Home Care.

Born on July 3, 1949, to Laurie and Hilda Lantz, Lena grew up in Middle River, where she later raised her family alongside her beloved husband, Ken, sharing life's many trials and triumphs together.

Lena was well known for her cooking and pickling and took great pride in her sewing, quilting, and gardening. She enjoyed spending time with family and creating a warm, welcoming home for those she loved.

Lena will be forever loved and remembered by her children, Blaine (Michelle) Zwicker, James (Sharon) Zwicker, and Julie (Jason) Sawler; her sisters, Jean Collicutt and Muriel Webber; her grandchildren, Andrew, Alyssa, Emily, Victoria, and Ethan; and her great-grandchildren, Isla, Cade, and Henley.

Lena also held a special place in her heart for Darlene, a cherished member of the family who meant so much to her.

She was predeceased by the love of her life, her husband, Kenneth Zwicker; her sisters, Loreen Bremner; Rena Lantz; and her brothers, Walter Lantz and Lester Lantz.

A celebration of Lena's life will be held on June 27, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Grace Anglican Church in Chester Basin. Refreshments will follow. A private burial will take place at a later date.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Teresa, Lynn, and Michelle, as well as the entire staff of Heart to Heart In-Home Care, for their exceptional care, kindness, and compassion throughout Lena's final journey. Their support and dedication brought comfort not only to Lena, but also to her family during a difficult time.

Forever loved, forever remembered.
