ZELDA MARIE ALLEN, 86, formerly of Ashland, passed away Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at her home in Medford, attended by her family. She was born to Henry and Freda Sybrant in Josie, Nebraska on September 8, 1924. Zelda attended school in Harrison, Nebraska, and graduated 8th grade in Strickler, Arkansas.
Zelda married James "Jim" W. Allen on May 5, 1942 in Ontario, California. They settled in Ashland in the early 1950's and raised their family of three daughters. Zelda worked in the home, pursuing vegetable gardening, canning, sewing and bread baking. Girl scouting gave Zelda a passion for camping and hiking.
Zelda loved to travel, especially in her little motor home with her dear friend, Marge McCartney. Camping with her family gave her great joy. Her retirement years were filled with needlecrafts, reading, crossword puzzles and watching birds at the feeder and bath from her kitchen window. She became a beloved member of Set Free Christian Fellowship where she was everyone's "Grandma Zelda".
Zelda is survived by two daughters, Pat (Jerry) Peters, and Zena (Larry) Palmer, both of Medford, Oregon; grandchildren Tony (Julie) Reeder, Ashland, Oregon, Scott Reeder, and Heather Hoyle, both of Medford, Oregon, Mark (Dawn) Peters, Christine (Dan) Ryan and Keri Scheuritzel of Connecticut; great-grandchildren Tyler Aguiar, Travis and Matthew Reeder, Jeremy Buckalew, Skyler Hoyle; Tristan Everett, Grace Hoyle, Shane, Zachary, Shaylyn, MiKayla and Carsen Peters; James Riley and Chayton Scheuritzel; her brother, Roy (Laura) Sybrant of Prairie Grove, Arkansas; and numerous nieces and nephews.Zelda was preceded in death by her husband, James Allen (1968), infant son, "Jimmy" Allen (1943), daughter Mary Jeska (2007), father, Henry Sybrant (1962), mother, Fred Sybrant (1969), and sister Jane Moore (1988).
