Rodney J. Zigler

Rodney J. Zigler, 59 of Plainfield, passed away peacefully at his home on March 9, 2016. Rodney was born July 17, 1956 in Daviess County, Indiana to Palmer and Betty (Groves) Zigler; his parents survive. On November 30, 2007 he was united in marriage to his loving wife, Sandra (Sears) Zigler.

Rodney really enjoyed being able to travel the country while working for Harold Sears Enterprises, Inc. in Jamestown for the past ten years; he was able to see sights throughout the United States that he had never seen before and enjoyed sharing these experiences with his buddies and co-workers.
