STENNER, Zenovia (Zonia) Rose. Born July 13, 1941 passed away peacefully on January 31, 2014 at 72 years young at her favorite place on earth, Starbucks. Zenovia's name originates from the Greek title "Captain of the Ship", while "Zonia" originates from the Austrian title "Magestic Queen Of Heaven". Clearly her name represents the amazing person she was. Zenovia's children include Thane, Lisa, Justyn, Leighton, Vanessa and Tanya, who miss her dearly. She celebrates in Heaven with her 2nd youngest daughter Vanessa, happily keeping each other company. Cherished by her adoring husband Gordon (who lovingly refers to his wife as "ZeeDee"), celebrated their 50 year Anniversary this month. In addition, Zenovia is survived by her daughter-in-law's (past and present) Darci, Kimberley, Anita and Lori. As well as son-in-laws David, Jason, Ray and Bernie. She will be greatly missed by her 14 grandchildren Dustin, Chelsea, Vaughn, Chantel, Miranda, Seth, Gabrielle, Benjamin, Justynne, Tage, Ray Jr., Alexia, Royce, Chanel and great-grandson Maverick. Born in Vegreville Alberta, Zenovia was raised with her 8 siblings Velma, Mike, Peter, Lillian, John, Rose, Vikki and Gloria. Zenovia's legacy will include her endless generosity, fun sense of humor, constant laughter, ability to fully engage in life and celebrate with family. Loved by so many, she will always be remembered by her famous neck, head and foot massages. Zen's spirit will remain with each of us and we are comforted by her enormous faith in God.
