Susan E. Nestler Zinzow, formerly of East Greenbush, New York, and most recently of Palm Coast, Florida, passed away peacefully on May 8, 2026, at Stuart F. Meyer Hospice in Palm Coast.

Susan had an infectious smile, a loving spirit, and a way of making everyone feel like family whenever they were around her. Susan truly lived life to the fullest. She was adventurous and fearless, enjoying everything from driving race cars to riding snowmobiles, four-wheelers, and three-wheelers. She loved spending time at the beach and cherished every moment shared with family and friends.
Susan endured heartbreaking loss in her life with the passing of her beloved sons, Chuck K. Zinzow and Chad A. Zinzow. The loss of her boys deeply affected her, and she carried that love and sorrow in her heart every day.
