She was born Feb. 23, 1936, to Beatrice and Jerome Cramer. She was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother and nana. Zoe graduated from Villa Maria High School.

In her spare time, Zoe enjoyed playing bocce on her family team at the Arco Club. She and George enjoyed vacationing together at their home in Naples, Florida, where they hosted guests, friends and family who enjoyed their time in “paradise.”

Zoe spent many years providing for her husband, children and grandchildren. Giving to others was part of her calling. “Mama Zoe” was loved and admired by all who met her.
