had a love for animals, with

a soft spot for horses. Her

dog, Miley continues on

today with ZoAnn’s

unconditional love radiating

from her.

ZoAnn had a wonderful

eye for photography,

music, dancing and singing

along while cooking her

heart away. Her love can be

remembered by everyone

who had the pleasure of

meeting her.

Most important to ZoAnn

was her family, especially

clubs, and avid reading were

favorite activities. Traveling

extensively throughout the

world, Bernard and Alice

created long-lasting

memories.
