Zigrida "Zigi" Adele Kimmons peacefully passed away Tuesday, February 13, 2018, in Elim Care and Rehab Center, Fargo, ND, with her three loving daughters by her side.
Zigi was born to Marta and Nicholajs Sefers on September 14, 1932, in Riga, Latvia. In her teens, her younger sister, Brigita, and mother, Marta, moved to Minneapolis MN. After Zigi married, her family lived through-out the state, including Byron, Duluth, Hopkins, and she spent the last twenty years of her life in Moorhead, MN.
While raising four children, Linda, Sandy, Anita and Keith, Zigi completed her schooling and became a Licensed Practical Nurse. She then cared for others living out their last days, at Methodist Hospital, in St. Louis Park, MN.
Zigi's nursing career was second only to her passion and love for traveling throughout the world, including Europe, Australia, and her home land of Latvia.
As a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she was known to all to be a detailed and well-planned organizer, planning out everything she ever did in life. It pleased her greatly to document just about everything she did, and every special event.
All of her children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren will remember, like clockwork, knowing and looking forward to receiving a birthday card with a dollar or two from our mom, Grandma Zigi.
Zigi is survived by her four children, Linda (Jeff) Engstrom, and their children, Daniel (Shelby Riemer) Engstrom and John (Genevieve Meneses) Engstrom & family; Sandy (Patrick) Schwartz and their children, Chris (Katie Long) Ganzer & family and Carrie (Brian) Murphy & family; Anita Regas and her children, Emily (Gleb) Sukhov & family, Nikolaos (Margo) Regas & family and Meghan (Pete) Paquette & family; and Keith (Elizabeth) Kimmons and their children, Amy Kimmons & family, Stephanie (Tim Black) Peters & family, Michelle (Andre) Allen & family, and Nathan (Lauren Lochtefeld) Kimmons; and half-sisters living in Australia, Erika Watts & Silvia Harbour & families.
She is now in Heaven with her mother, father, and sister.
