Zana and Raymond spent many winters in Florida, pulling a travel trailer behind their Chrysler car. They also enjoyed summers at their cottage on Southerland Lake that included daily walks, enjoying the peaceful area, traveling the lake in their paddle boat and visiting with neighbors and friends. Zana was an avid bowler and bowled on a team for many years. She crocheted afghans and made many of which most were given away. She was an excellent cook, and when a meal was prepared, there were too many dishes to choose from. Her boiled dinners and especially her cinnamon rolls will never be forgotten.
