Carol A. Zeien
December 4, 1954 – April 29, 2026
Carol A. Zeien, a proud lifelong resident of South Boston, passed away suddenly on April 29, 2026, at the age of 71.
Born and raised in South Boston, Carol was a true “Southie” at heart. She dedicated over 30 years of service to the United States Postal Service, working at the South Boston General Mail Facility, where she was known for her dedication, loyalty, and the friendships she built throughout her career.
Carol found joy in life’s simple pleasures — a hot dog at Castle Island, a Dunkin’ lemonade, and, most importantly, time spent with her family. She especially cherished her trips to the Cape, where countless memories were made at her timeshare surrounded by loved ones.
She was predeceased by her beloved parents, Ellen and Leo Zeien; her sister, Janice Zeien; and her niece, Michele Crewe.
Carol is survived by her loving sisters, Debbie Zeien and her husband George Williams , and Ellen Zeien and her husband John DeMeo. She was a devoted aunt to her nephews, Christopher DeMeo and his wife Meaghan, Braun Williams and his wife Amanda, and Jonathan DeMeo and his wife Anastasia. She also leaves behind her cherished great-nieces, Emily and Riley.
Carol will be remembered for her loyalty, her humor, her deep love of family, and her unmistakable South Boston spirit. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend visiting hours at The Casper Funeral Home, 187 Dorchester Street, South Boston Monday, May 11 from 10:00-12:00p.m. Interment services will follow in Cedar Grove Cemetery, Neponset.
