Zona Irene Schick (nee Smith)

July 28th, 1924 - September 29th, 2017

With much love and many beautiful memories, we are sad to announce the passing of our Mom, Granny and Great-Granny.

She was called Home to be with her Lord and Saviour at the age of 93 years.

Zona will be lovingly remembered and missed by her sons, Mervin (Mary Ann), Wayne (Reva), Lyle (Marg), Barry (Deb); her daughter-in-law, Jill; six grandsons, Doug (Amber), Dale (Lore), Chip (Andrea), Trevor (Jen), Matt (Stacey) and Brian (Kristen); seven granddaughters, Cinda (Grant), Lindsey (Bill), Lauren (Evan), Dawn ((Derek), Jodie (Asa), Toni (Bryan) and Ali (Devin); twenty-one great-grandchildren; two sisters, Kay and Cora (Ron); and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Henry; one son, Robin; one daughter-in-law, Gail; one brother, Bud; and two sisters, Garnet and Hazel.

Born in Wilcox, Saskatchewan to Frank and Minnie Smith, Zona grew up as the eldest of six children. After marrying Henry in Lloyminster, they moved to numerous towns and cities in Alberta and B.C., finally settling on Vernon to retire in.

She enjoyed many hours sitting at her sewing machine and was a skilled quilter, always having something to work on in her quilting frame.

She spent 50 years as an avid curler and was a fan of all sports. Zona was a Sunday School teacher, and active member of the LWML and Ladies Aid at St. John's Lutheran Church.

We commit our hope for Mom into the welcoming arms of the risen Jesus, the light of true and everlasting life, God's grace and love and truth come to earth.

Cremation and interment will precede a Service of thanksgiving for Zona's life which will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Thursday, October 5th, 2017 at 11:00 A.M. with Pastor Craig Tufts officiating.

A Reception will follow in the Bethel Tea Room.

As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Zona to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., #102-3402-27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S1.

We, Zona's family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of Mom's special care givers at the Gateby Care Centre.

Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5, 250-542-1187.
