Alma ZEHRUNG Obituary
ZEHRUNG, Alma Allene
Died at the age of 76 due to complications of pneumonia at Sutter Roseville Medical Center on December 1, 2010. Alma was always a fighter and survivor, a lifelong Curves member and a self proclaimed ''movie critic'' rivaling Siskel and Ebert. The movie of her life would get two thumbs up. Alma worked at State Farm Insurance Company where she met the love of her life, Robert Dean Zehrung. They were married in 1963 and he preceded her in death in 1977. Alma retired from Bank of America after years of dedicated service. She was also a member of Beta Sigma Phi International. Alma is survived by and was a beloved mother to Terri Lynn, Glenn, and Robert Joseph; loving grandmother to Robert Joseph Jr., Savannah, Roxanna, and Joseph Michael; caring sister of Louise and Dolores; and a host of other loving relatives and friends; and of course, her beloved dog Scampi. Services will be held at Holy Family Church, 7817 Old Auburn Rd, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, (916) 723-2494 on Monday, December 6, 2010 at 10:00am. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local SPCA.

My 10 years with Terri included time with Alma, especially holidays like Christmas and Mother's Day. Terri was a wonderful daughter to her. Alma is finally pain-free and hopefully holding one of her many chihuahuas in her lap...

Alma was so very great with our kids. She always remembered them and recognized them as "our" kids which meant very much to me.
I commend Rob and Terri for their efforts in making sure Alma was comfortable and I believe that Alma knows this. I hope the good memories help the grief and the fact that you both worked so good together makes for family closeness.
Always remember and never forget, the best has come and even still more yet.....

God Saw You Getting Tired
“God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, “Come to Me”.
You didn’t deserve what you went through
So He gave you rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.”
Rest now in heaven, Alma, and be at peace.
We love you and you’ll always be missed…
