Chelsea Irene Zwirek

Chelsea was born in Houston, Texas on the 12th of September 1989. She is survived by her mother, Marilyn Zwirek; her father, Henry “Hank” Zwirek; her brothers, Ben Zwirek and Seth Zwirek; her grandmother, Elaine Taylor; three aunts, one uncle and numerous cousins.

Chelsea delighted in all things beautiful as evidenced by her life-long love of fashion, makeup and art. Her creativity produced collages ranging from photos of family and friends, to multi-colored designs meshing imagined and real images. Christmas will not be the same without her decorations.

Chelsea nurtured dogs and cats from early childhood and adored Bella, her peek-a-boo puppy acquired this past March.

Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with the family from five o’clock in the afternoon until eight o’clock in the evening on Wednesday, the 20th of April, in the Parlor and Grand Foyer of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston.

A funeral service celebrating Chelsea’s life is to be conducted at ten o’clock in the morning on Thursday, the 21st of April, in the Jasek Chapel of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, where Dr. Douglas Caldwell of First United Methodist Church in Mauriceville, Texas, is to officiate.

The graveside service and interment is to follow, via an escorted cortege, at Glenwood Cemetery in Houston.

Immediately following the service, all are invited to greet the family during a reception at a venue to be announced during the service.
