Jeanne Louise Zamora, 57, of Lakeville, IN passed away at 7:08 p.m. Wednesday, February 2, 2011 in Memorial Hospital. She was born on October 23, 1953 in South Bend, IN to Louis E. and Myra H. (Hodgins) Walz. On March 26, 1988 in Austin, TX, she married Gilbert Zamora, who survives.

Mrs. Zamora is also survived by sister, Deborah (Dick) Licini of Granger, IN; brother, Greg (Phyllis) Walz of Middlebury, IN and twelve nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents.

Mrs. Zamora was a lifelong area resident. She loved her dogs and making potpourri. She was an avid reader and enjoyed reading about the history of South Bend. Her grandparents were original settlers of South Bend.

Funeral services will be held at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, February 5, 2011 in the Palmer Funeral Home-Guisinger Chapel, 3718 S. Michigan St. South Bend, IN. Friends may visit with the family one hour prior to the services. Burial will take place in the spring in Southlawn Cemetery, South Bend.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I have been rereading some of Jeanne Louise's old posts; she was an insightful woman. Sadly, today is the first time I noticed that she put under her ID in the Forums that she owned three Borzois. I would have liked to have talked to her about that. Like Betty, Jeanne Louise left us far too young. I'll be thinking of them both today.

Thank you Suz. Jeanne loved her Brozois; I think I have some pictures of them that she had sent me.

So sad to hear of Jeanne Louise's passing. Thanks for letting us know, John. She contributed a lot to this Forum. John, let's put together a Memorial page for her, if you have time.

If someone writes a bio I can put it into her profile as a memorial. Visible only to members. New profile features and improved editing coming soon.
