Zona Ney
Zona Ruth Ney, 79, of Escalon, died Friday, April 12 after a brief and courageous bout with cancer.
Born June 13, 1933 in Sims AR to Roscoe and Edna Irons, she will be fondly remembered and sorely missed by all that knew her. She had a warm and infectious spirit which made her a stranger to none. She had worked as a waitress in her earlier years and ended up retiring after 30 years of working at the Escalon Packers/Heinz Food cannery in Escalon. She took great pride and enjoyment in having a few garage sales each year to provide people, in the community and from work, with quality items for those in need.
Survivors include her husband of 57 years, Chet Ney of Escalon; sons Greg (Jeannie) Ney of Snohomish, WA and Bryan (Holly) Ney of Escalon; grandsons Jon Ney of Snohomish, WA and Marc Ney of Escalon; granddaughter Courtney Ney of Escalon; and a sister Toy Hogg of Hot Springs, AR.
The family would like to give special thanks to everyone involved with Hospice for their compassionate and considerate care. As she wished, flowers need not be sent since there will be no service. She was laid to rest privately at Burwood Cemetery.
