To further fuel her pursuit for knowledge, she went on to earn a Master’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Pangasinan, where she demonstrated not only intellectual ability but also a deep commitment to the development of her students. In 1962, Zenaida married Attorney Godofredo Manipud Sr.,who passed on August 7, 2017, and together, they raised five children: Belma, Marissa, Godofredo Jr., Jasmin, and Jean.

Zenaida cherished her family above all, and created a home of warmth and safety. Her legacy and sacrifices for her family lives on through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild, who carry forward the lessons she imparted.
