Linda Zeyen

Linda Zeyen, age 84, passed away peacefully on September 15, 2026, surrounded by her loving family at OhioHealth Hospice House. Linda was a devoted member of Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, where she served in the funeral ministry. For many years, she also brought comfort and faith to others as a Communion distributor at Wesley Glen Nursing Home. As a Dominican Associate, Linda embraced a life of prayer, study, community, and service. Her deep faith guided the way she lived and was reflected in her compassion, humility, and loving care for others. She found great joy in nature, reading, painting, and sewing. Linda especially treasured the time she spent with her husband, Peter, building and decorating their cabin in southern Ohio. Known for her extraordinary warmth and hospitality, Linda loved to cook and share the food she made. Cooking was one of the many ways she showed her love, whether she was preparing meals for the Dominican Sisters, creating wonderful dinners for family and friends, or filling the holiday table with homemade baked goods and preserves from the bounty of her garden. Linda’s home and heart were always open. She had a special gift for recognizing those who felt alone or needed a place to belong, welcoming them into her home and embracing them as part of the family. Around Linda’s table, there was always room for one more. For many decades, Linda operated a daycare from her home. Through her kindness and loving care, she touched the lives of countless children and their families. Linda was preceded in death by her parents, David and Louise Weisend. She is survived by her devoted husband, Peter J. Zeyen Sr.; her children, Peter J. Zeyen Jr., Elizabeth (Charles) Kocel, David (Alicia) Zeyen, and Melissa (Doug) DeFilippo; and her grandchildren, Chloe, Emily, and Audrey Kocel; Kira (Matt) Zambon, Alex, Zoe, and Joseph Zeyen; and Anthony, Dominic, Jacob, and Elise DeFilippo. Family and friends may call from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, September 25, at Rutherford-Corbin Funeral Home, 515 N. High St., Worthington, Ohio 43085. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 26, at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, 20 E. Dominion Blvd., Columbus, Ohio 43214. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to OhioHealth Hospice House in Linda’s memory.
