It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of Carrie Zettel, whose life was cut short on Sunday, October 12, on Milwaukee’s south side. Carrie was found deceased at her home near 23rd and Ramsey Avenue, and authorities have confirmed that the incident is under active investigation by the Milwaukee Police and the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner.
Carrie was more than the victim of a senseless tragedy — she was a cherished friend, mentor, and mother figure to many. Lifelong friends describe her as a warm, compassionate, and giving soul, someone who was always ready to lend a hand, share her wisdom, and offer love and support to those around her. One friend, who is like a daughter to her, spoke of Carrie as a second mother who shaped her life in countless ways.
Her sudden passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of her family, friends, and the community she touched. Those who knew Carrie remember her kindness, her generosity, and the joy she brought to every room. While her life was tragically cut short, her memory and the love she shared will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate to know her.
