So sorry for the loss of a good friend. Since I will be in AZ, I’m sorry I cannot attend her memorial. I always loved her smile and her good friendship.

Nona was a dear friend and Sister in PEO. We laughed a lot. She often said that it was scary how we understood each other's sense of humor. I will miss her greatly. Yes, she was funny, but she was a truly caring person to all living things and I am a better person to have known her. ~Connie

I have MANY fond memories of afternoons sipping wine (often) and chatting. We covered any subject with honesty and interest. I miss Nona.

Condolences to Megan and Dave -- who will miss her even more!

When I was a new docent in the CMZA, Nona was one of the first people to welcome me and I will always appreciate and value that. Nona contributed so much to our Auxiliary. Nona will be missed.

I cannot attend the Memorial, as I tested positive for Covid this morning. I will miss all of you and send my prayers to Dave and Megan.

When I started as a docent at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Nona was one of the first to know my name and say "hello." That meant a lot. She always had a smile and a kind word to say. She will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to her family.

Words cannot express the sadness that I felt with hearing of the passing of Nona.  She was extremely instrumental helping me in finding the missing piece of a puzzle that I had been searching for most of my adult life.   As a stranger and someone that she had never personally met,  she unselfishly gave of her time to take a DNA test.  The results of this test helped me discover my biological identity.  Nona was my Auntie and the sister of my paternal father.   I’m eternally grateful to her for this.  I was only fortunate enough to have known Nona for about five years and will cherish every moment.   During this timeframe, I’ve had the opportunity to experience her infectious smile, laughter and her quick wittiness.  She had no problem in telling it as she saw it, a big plus.  David and Megan, I know that your loss of this incredible soul is extremely painful - the world is a better place for those of us that had the opportunity to have known her.  I am eternally grateful to you both for allowing me to share just a fraction of her precious time.  Auntie Nona - Thank you for accepting me - I love you and will miss you.  I’ll see you on the other side of the Pearly Gates - Hugs ❤️

Nona was a shining light. She was always smiling ; so bright and such fun. I met Nona in The zoo Auxiliary. She was a wonderful Docent, who contributed so much to the group. Husband Ron and I have many fond memories of our times together, along with Nona’s lovely husband Dave. So grateful to have been her friend. Our Chocolate Lovers Group will also miss Nona.

Heartfelt condolences to Dave, daughter Meg and her extended family.

I loved hiking with Nona! She was both kind and feisty, quick to laugh and share her smiles. She offered support and understanding as we talked over challenges. She seemed to have a zest for life that was inspiring. I will miss her. I'm thankful for the promise of the resurrection that will reunite me with my friends. Love and peace to her family.

Way too many to tell about carpooling, but what a great time for developing a friendship! The ride to and from gave us both time to prepare for what was next on that given day. We had serious conversations but mostly humorous ones! She was a wonderful friend and I will miss her deeply.
