Carol Jean (Zullig) Zuercher, of Sheridan, passed away in her home early Thursday morning, March 26, 2026, with her loving husband Robert (Bob) at her side. They were and remain loving companions for more than 60 years in mortal life and forever in Eternity.

Carol was born, April 16, 1943, in Sheridan, Wyoming, to her parents Raymond and Katherine Zullig. She graduated from Sheridan High School with the Class of 1961 and remained a proud Sheridan Bronc throughout her life. Following graduation from high school she attended the University of Utah where she studied to earn a degree in nutrition and become a Registered Dietitian. She met her husband, Bob, just prior to her graduation. They were married December 31,1965 in her parent’s home in Sheridan. They were later blessed with exceptional children (son and daughter), and they built a life in the small mountain town of Rye, Colorado where they enjoyed friendships, gardening, spending time in the mountains, supporting their children’s activities, and serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Carol was musical and enjoyed playing the piano and especially enjoyed being the chorister at church. She and her husband sang in the Pueblo Symphony Chorale and served their community in other ways. Later, as empty nesters, they traveled and showed their Vizsla breed dogs, and they still hold a collection of ribbons and awards.

Following retirement in 2006 they returned to Carol’s hometown of Sheridan. They enjoyed being involved in community and were most happy to serve as co-coordinators for the Sheridan interfaith Lunch Together (Soup Kitchen) for 15 years. Carol had a generous spirit and even though she was always very busy with various interests, love and attention to her husband, children and grandchildren prevailed above all else.

Survivors include her husband Bob, one son, Rob (Beth) Zuercher, a daughter, Alisa Tracy and three grandchildren, Connor, Jessica, Halley, and one brother Alan Zullig.

Graveside services will be held Saturday, April 25, at 11:00 A.M. in the Juniper Heights section of the Sheridan Municipal Cemetery, with Bishop Kendal Hoopes officiating.

Champion Kane Funeral Home has been entrusted with local arrangements.
