Lura Zerick Obituary
Lura Zerick, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 28, 2025, at the age of 94, and she is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior.
Born December 1, 1930, Lura was proud of her roots and heritage in Westville, Florida, and Geneva, Alabama, and she invested her heart and creative spirit into her community. A true storyteller, Lura loved lifting others' spirits through her writing and music. When she was not reading scripture or a novel, Lura could be found gardening, cooking, or enjoying God's beauty in nature. Lura touched the lives of many through her enduring strength, compassion, and unwavering spirit, and she was known for her warm smile and willingness to share the love of Jesus with those around her.
Lura is survived by her loving family: her sons, Fred Zerick, and his wife Jacquelyn, and Jon Zerick; and her daughters, Joy Bush, and Toni Zerick; and is predeceased by her daughter, Lisa Zerick. Her numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, cousins, nieces, and nephews will carry her memory and legacy forward with love and gratitude.
A memorial service will take place on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at Beulah Ana Baptist Church, 1334 Coursey Road, Westville, Florida 32464. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Beulah Anna Baptist Church, in honor of Lura's generous and giving nature.
