Zona enjoyed her childhood as a small town girl in Washington, Utah attending school in Washington and St. George. She enjoyed learning and being at the top of her class having a perfect memory that didn’t disappoint throughout her life. In later years she’d quote poetry memorized in childhood and was proud of her abilities.

Zona enjoyed hiking, rock-hunting, geological formations, and the outdoors in the mountains. Family outings included collecting pretty rocks. Hobbies were sewing, crochet, tying quilts, art, music. She was accomplished at bowling and enjoyed her league.

Mom was a poet by nature writing many poems, winning contests and printed in literary magazines and Ensign. She wrote ward roadshows and plays.

She became interested in natural herbs sharing her formulas to help improve other’s health. Her business “Gifts of Nature” provided opportunity to meet people who became close friends.
