Hi family, I too just learned of Mrs. Zumwalt's passing and want to remember her to you. I was in 8th grade in Ephrata and 4 years later I lived with her when I needed a place to stay my 2nd semester of my snior year. A very giving person.

Hi, Just discovered by accident that Mrs. Zumwalt had passed away. She was my 1st and 2nd grade teacher in Ephrata. I last saw her a few years ago when she attended a wedding in Soap Lake, WA. Dear, sweet teacher and friend. A few years ago she mailed a crocheted afghan to me. I will always cherish it in her memory.
