Doraina Zeek, 62, of Williamson, West Virginia, peacefully departed from this life on the morning of Thursday, May 15, 2025 while at home, next to her husband, David. She was born on April 16, 1963 to the late Carl and Dora Eunice Coleman Blackburn in Detroit, Michigan.
Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her brother, Carl Blackburn Jr., her sisters, Ollie Pansy Blackburn and Tammy Blackburn, her sister-in-law, Alice Elkins, her special nephew, Little John Blackburn, and her fur baby, Lucky.
Doraina was a hard worker her entire life. She loved nothing more than spending time with her family, especially her beloved husband, David. She and David spent almost 40 years married, tying the knot on Sunday, September 15, 1985 at exactly 3:00 PM. They lovingly referred to one another as "sweetness" and "patch" and spent every moment possible together. She enjoyed watching TV, fishing, listening to music, going for car rides with her husband, and living life to the fullest. She always held a strong faith. She will be dearly missed.
Those left here on earth to forever honor her memory include her husband, David Zeek, her brothers, James (Eva Jean) Blackburn and Sammy Blackburn, her sisters, Shelvie (Buck Runyon) Blackburn and Rebecca (Benny) Blackburn, her brother-in-law, John Elkins, her niece, Sherry Elkins, and her nephew, Darren Elkins. She also leaves behind a host of other loving nieces, nephews, family members, and friends.
No services are to be announced at this time. Chafin Funeral Home is proudly serving the family.
