I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Zoa for years at the Department of Education. I know first-hand how committed she was to her work, and she took pride and joy in helping students all across the state. May your fond memories offer some consolation.

Even in your sadness, I hope you can hold on to the thought that a life lived with so much love never ends, but goes on forever in the hearts of those who remember.
Sincere Sympathy to you and your family.
Love, Sherry Tucker

We’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Zoa and her family for a long time. She was one of the sweetest ladies Ive ever met, and always greeted us with warm smiles. She was always so proud of her daughters and their children, but was quick to ask after ours. I’m so sorry for the loss, but know that you will see her again.

I am so sorry of your loss. I always wanted to meet her but perhaps I met her in spirits. I know she loved her girls and grandbabies. I am also sure she is dancing and shouting on streets of gold. Love and prayers for all.
