Patricia Beverly Ferus Zielinski, age 78, passed away, Friday, January 14, 2022, in Knoxville, TN. Pat, Patsy, Patti, Mrs. Z, Nana Patti, Bubbie, Mom was known by many names and played so many roles during her life. She was a friend, confidant, counselor, mentor, doctor, protector, and so much more. There are no words to express what she meant to so many, however, it is very safe to say that Patricia Zielinski navigated the life she was given by her own rules, always putting the people she loved first and carrying little regrets. At the end, she was ready to go "home", but her family just wishes they were ready to let her go. Patricia is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Paige & Michael Russell; grand-daughters, Afton Russell, Teagan Russell, and Quinlan Russell, all of Oak Ridge, TN; son, Scott Zielinski; and grand-daughter, Calliope Zielinski of Las Vegas, NV; and extended family and chosen family around the country. The family wishes to extend special thanks to Becki Evans and her staff at Heritage Assisted Living for always assuring peace and comfort for Patricia and her family. No services are planned at this time. Weatherford Mortuary is in charge of arrangements.
