Obituary

Deloris (Dee) Zaden Joseph, 86, passed away on October 13, 2018. She is preceded in death by her husband, Charles (Gene) Joseph, parents Mary and Maroon Zaden, sisters Margaret Anthony and Kitty Verciglio, and brothers George and Louis Zaden. She leaves to cherish her memory: daughter Jan Joseph; sons Marty Joseph and Patrick (Brenda) Joseph; grandchildren Lauren (Zach) Marriner and Christopher (Brittany) Joseph; and brother Dr. Joseph Zaden (Marian), of Ft. Lauderdale.She was a longtime member of the Cedars Club, Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and St. Elias Maronite Catholic Church. A member of both church altar sodalities, she was the happiest working alongside all the wonderful ladies serving the Lord. Dee grew up in Powderly, working and living behind the family store, Zaden Mercantile, while attending Jones Valley School.

She married Gene and they continued to live in the family home, reopening the business in 1974 as a convenience store, Dee's Super Saver. In 2003, Dee closed the store and moved from her home of 65 years to Bluff Park with her daughter Jan. Dee loved to play and teach sports: softball, volleyball, tennis, golf and fishing, but especially bowling, which she did until the last three years of her life.
