Dear Eric & Kristin, Zoe will be remembered in our prayers, she was a very talented, funny, smart lady. We always enjoyed being with her and your Dad as well. Now they are together in peace in heaven. She will be missed. All our love to you and your family. Gordon & Karol Glover

Zoe was such a great president of the Long Beach League ! Her sense of humor was what I loved about Zoe .
Rest in peace , dear lovely lady !

I am so sorry to hear of Zoe's passing. I was a close associate of hers during my many years as a Banning Residence Museum Volunteer, during which I was Chair of the Volunteers for 3 years. Zoe was a fabulous person to work with, always cheerful, positive, very creative, and inspirational, plus having a great sense of humor. In later years, I saw her occasionally at various events, and we always would have a lively conversation! My husband Jim and I send our deepest sympathy to the whole...

Solong Zoe. We had good fun at Chadwick and you were a great date for a number of occasions. Thanks for putting up with me. Doug Shaw

I just came across the news of Zoe's passing by accident. As her former employee at the Banning Residence Museum, please allow me to express my professional & personal sorrow at her passing. Kristin & Erik, I understand the trials your mom went through, as my mom also has dementia. I'll always be grateful to Zoe for hiring me & guiding the museum through trying times, particularly when Floriade had to be postponed due to the L.A. Riots. May she rest in peace.

On behalf of our family, my condolences for the loss of your mother. I knew Zoe through our commitment to Town and Gown of USC where we were members. I joined many, many years after my mother, she and your mom were friends so I quickly got to know your mother. She was a positive and bright light and I enjoyed her very much. We lost our mother three years ago this month also after a lengthly battle with Alzheimers. Find comfort in knowing they are together and rooting for their team. Fight on!

When I first applied for the job as secretary of the Junior League of Long Beach in the early 70's, I never could have imagined how many wonderful women I would meet who would help shape my life. Zoe was President of the Junior League while I worked there. She was a wonderful mentor and inspiration. Her spirit of volunteerism was contagious. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her entire family.

Zoe was a very special member and past President of the Delta Delta Delta Sleighbell Committee for Childrens Hospital Los Angles. We will always remember our Delta Sister with love.

My mother and I, and all of the Southern California Tri Deltas loved Zoe, Kristin, Margaret and grandkids for their support of the Sleighbell Luncheon for CHLA hematology/oncology research. Zoe approached everything with intelligence, discernment, taste and kinship.
