Prayers to the family. She was “Mom” to me. I am an aunt to a few of her grandchildren, but she was mom before them. I will remember the food she cooked,playing pokeno, eating awesome shrimp rolls with bri nurse, her amazing movie wall she built and filled😂The random shopping..like who had a machine to make your own soda(the awesomeness that was Zelda)😂 but most importantly her big heart. She would be real and be there. So sorry for the family losing such a great person but now you all have a great soul once again around you all. Prayers for you all
Sending love and prayers to my family

My Top Cat Sister I Love you Always. The years that I searched for you since 1967 and just by coincidence we were reunited by your daughter Terri who became a member of Conestoga Angels I know that God made that happen and through that I was in your wedding and your daughter TC aka Shauna became a part of my family. I know it was God’s plan. I enjoyed our conversation last month and I’ll never forget you my Top Cat Sister. ♥️♥️👏
Unconditional love and joy smiles and laughter will be had when it comes to thoughts of you aunt zel your spirit will bless others as it’s blessed those that knew and loved you.. 🥺
My deepest condolences to all the family. I pray that God comforts each and everyone of you.
