Frank and Zenna Zane had four children: Clyde V. [1926-2000]

Elmer [b. 1928]

Hazel

and Zenna Zane [b. 1936]

Zenna Zane died in 1971 in Ohio, and Clyde followed her in 1980.

I remember this dear couple so well! When we visited with Zenna's sister, Veda, and my grandmother Mary, in Bumpass, Virginia. I can remember that Aunt Zenna had very sparse hair! [So did my Grandmother!]

In Oct 1967 I took a picture of the three sister's together, using my very first camera, a Brownie!

Left to right is my Grandmother Mary FAUDREE BEAN, in the center is my Aunt Veda FAUDREE CARTER and on the right is ZENNA ZANE FAUDREE BAKER.

Here's a cropped photo showing Uncle Clyde and Aunt Zenna Zane together. They were the absolute sweetest couple!

Zenna Zane and Clyde BAKER are buried here at Greenlawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Barberton, Summit County, Ohio.
