    I am so terribly sad we have lost Zenda. Such a happy, positive soul who brought so much joy to others. She was such a positive role model as she shared her journey with us. So many people will be heartbroken.

    Zenda WAS River Falls. She loved deeply, laughed often, helped others, and was cherished by all. Nothing can touch what that beautiful soul gave to us, Zenda. Peace to all.

    I’ll never forget Zenda and the 5 am workout crew at Curves working the machines, chatting (some of them) laughing, and creating that community of women at Curves, River Falls. But when “Zenda’s Song” came up on the playlist, everyone worked the machines and joined in with the group, the Federations, song “Fill Me Up Buttercup.” It was a happy time. A time when body, mind, and soul smiled. Zenda was a special one.

    So sorry to hear of her passing. I remember her from high school, and had many dealings with her at the dental office.

    As next door neighbors to Zenda and Steve, we didn’t know her well, but enjoyed just quick chats over the fence while doing lawn work, and their lab doggies who played up and down the fence with ours. We’ll miss her very much!

    You were the epitome of positivity and one of a kind…..My sincere condolences to Steve, your sons, your beautiful granddaughters and know that your spirit lives on in them as you watch down on them.
