Zelma is survived by daughters Angela Hunter, Alexis Cross and Amber Allen; son August Allen; sisters Vyrna Dotte Weideman and Vanah Rafanelli. She leaves behind eight grandchildren, many great grands, one great-great grand, and her dog Daisy.
She retired from St. Mary's Medical Center in 2007 after a lengthy hospital administrative career in Michigan and California. After retirement, she volunteered at the Barstow Senior Center Library.
Zelma will be fondly remembered as an avid reader and crafter with an affinity for sarcasm and hummingbirds.
In place of flowers, the family reminds you to take care of your health and stay connected with those you love most.
Donations made in her name may also be made to the Barstow Senior Center.
