From High School Days, to going to Work Days, to going to Dancing Days, Zelda was so much fun. Zelda and Bob were guests at my 21st and were such fun. Used to keep in touch for many years on the phone. Keep having fun wherever you are. Looking back on the times and the jokes (including "John") we had. Jeanette was my best friend at High School, and Zelda's Dad was the man who delivered our bread while living in the Country on Dad's farm long before I met Zelda and Jeanette. My condolences to the family.

Zelda was a loved member of the Watkins Family. Her wicked sense of humor and fiesty nature, with the subtle digs she pitched at my dad john who gave it right back was a great source of amusement for us all. Jeanette and Zelda were cousins but they were like sisters. They had a wonderful relationship with Zelda spending many happy times in Titahi Bay and Hatepe. Zelda absolutely loved my brother who could do no wrong Photo attached. Zelda you will be missed but you are now with Jeanette and John. Creating chaos in another realm. Our deepest condolences to Julie, Sheryl, Michael and families. Never Forgotten always in your hearts. Tracey, Richard, Kirsten, Rachel, Bailey and Joshua xxxx.

I met Zelda at the Feilding Salvation Army. From being the mum of one of my Sunday School kids, Zelda became a good friend. Possibly she and Ellen weren´t the best examples during Songster practices where we were in the Sopranos together, but they were made it so much fun! Through the years we stayed good friends and I loved to visit Zelda each time I came home from Australia to see my Mum. In more recent years we enjoyed talking and laughing as we recalled memories of people and times past. Zelda loved talking about her girls and " The Army" so those visits gave me a lot of pleasure. Thank you Zelda for being a part of my life and for your dear daughters who have also become friends.

Fond memories of Zelda when she attended the Friendship Centre. Always had a twinkle in her eye and was always fun.
When she travelled in the van when she was in her own home I believe there was always a lot of fun and laughter. I heard Zelda was often the ringleader. RIP Zelda you were one special lady. Condolences and love to Sheryl and the rest of the family.
