I was married to Bunk and Ginger's son many years ago and I can remember going to Jim and Zella's house for Thanksgiving dinner. She had a dessert there that was delicious that she had made. She gave me the recipe and I still have it. That was probably 40 years ago. She was a great lady and an awesome cook. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. Even years after every time I saw her she never failed to speak to me and talk. My heart goes out to Jim, Suzie and Shelley and their families.
I met her at MCA/Technicolor and was a very hard worker. We had good times out there with her Cousin Evelyn and working right beside her and listening to wonderful stories of family and Shelly owning Raggedy Sisters.I love seeing Jim beside her all the time at fairs and parades.God gained a beautiful Special lady in Heaven until we all meet again. Sending prayers and Sympathy for all of the families 🙏

Suzie and Ron - I am so sorry for your loss and hope that many happy memories will help you through this time. I will be thinking of you.
