Jerry's obituary

Gerald Stanley Zeneberg , 76, of Traverse City, MI passed away on April 14, 2020 due to Lung Cancer.

Jerry was born in Mt Pleasant MI on September 14, 1943 to Dorothy MacCrindle and Bernard Zeneberg Sr. He married Doralee Metha Boesch on the 19th day of December 1964.

Almost exactly 2 years later he was drafted for the Vietnam war (November 22 1966) and spent two years in the Army at Fort Benning Georgia. People that knew him will not be surprised to learn that while there he qualified as a Sharpshooter on the M-14. He had a life long respect for weapons and loved hunting and fishing. After Vietnam he returned to Mt Pleasant MI and worked for the Michigan State Police before being hired by Shell Oil Company, working as a pipeline welding inspector first in Gaylord, then Traverse City until 1989.

He is survived by a brother Bernard Zeneberg (Virginia), sisters-in-law Carolyn (James Zeneberg), Sandy (Gerry Zeneberg), Andre Benson (Paul), Lillian Boesch (Leroy), three daughters; Stacy Schworm (Kevin), Felicia Randall (Robert) and Adrianna Zeneberg (Lisa Shooks), four grandchildren; Darby Schworm, Martin Schworm, Kaitlyn Randall and Cody Randall as well as a number of nieces and nephews.

He was proceeded in death by both of his parents, his wife, brothers James Zeneberg and Gerry Zeneberg, and sisters-in-law Emily Boesch and LaVonne Eberlein
