Tributes
"So sad to hear about Zelda she was a wonderful woman and was so dedicated to her family she will be missed..."
"Many good stories of times with Zelda. One of her favorites I think, was to tell about how Tom swept her off her feet. Also, many stories of Corbin and growing up. She was an amazing Mom and took such good care of Donnie. later in life, she would often say. "What would I do without Donnie to help me?" Thankful for Zelda's life & testimony...Pastor Keith"
