American Patriot

Zee was a true and gifted patriot who served our country for over 40 years as a military spouse. In that role she provided encouragement to young and experienced military personnel from all services to become the best they can be. This was especially true for the hundreds of Air Force aircrew members who attended flight schools at Altus AFB, Oklahoma. She provided professional, financial and personal counseling to many young military families who needed it in dealing with the high stress levels encountered in military life.

Zee dedicated hundreds of hours of her personal time in counseling aircrew students to become more motivated and dedicated to successful completion. In essence she had the innate ability to bring the best out of others. When her home health care patients could not afford or receive Medicare or Medicaid help with their required medications or equipment Zee would pay for and provide those items from her own personal funds.

Zee held a PhD in Loving, Giving and Caring for others. Zee was a certified real estate agent and broker, Owner and President of Hallmark Home Health in Arlington, TX, and served as activities and special events coordinator at the Altus AFB Non-Commissioned Officer and Officer’s club for over 20 years.

Zee was passionate about crocheting, knitting, caring and providing for needy children and underprivileged persons. She was a motivator who recognized others’ God given talents and was able to counsel them to maximize their potential.

A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, March 2, 2011, at First United Methodist Church, 3160 E. Spring Creek Pkwy., Plano, TX 75074. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Faith Presbyterian Hospice, c/o Dr. Christina, 6100 Colwell Blvd., Suite 225, Irving, TX 75039.
