Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

Sending comfort, I was Mrs Whittakers hair stylist when she live in Greensboro, NC. Everyone adored her beautiful spirit.

test

So sorry, the previous was written by niece/cousin Janet.

From what has been written here, it is clear that her light will continue to shine through the lights that were lit from hers. She not only inspired, but infused her spirit - would that we all receive inspiration and relevance from The Lord as she did, and follow her intentional example in whatever time we have left.

Zenda, please accept my sincere condolences. While I did not know your Mom, I do know she did a wonderful job leaving you as a legacy to the world. I cherish the times I spent in training sessions/ seminars with you. Coleman Landers, A Phi A. GSBA Pres-Elect

Our sincere condolences to Zenda and the Bowie family. Your mother was such a beautiful, kind and loving woman. We will always cherish the memories of her being a part of our lives—-such a blessing. May the Lord give you all his comfort and peace in the days, months and years to come as you treasure your memories of her. You are all in our prayers. Bishop Melvin and wife Linda Jones , Greensboro, NC

Zenda, My sincere condolences to you and your family. God bless our IBTW. Teresa Gee Hardy

You were the vessel of hope and guidance from God when you invited me to moved to New York City on June 10, 1973. Just like the teacher you were, you took the time to bring out the best in me and set me on a path for success. No adult had ever cared about my overall well being and social adaptation to the extent that you did. I am eternally grateful for your life and for the blessings God gave me through you. Be eternally at piece my savior, my soro, my aunt, my queen.

Condolences from the Hudgens family. Zenda, your mom was always very kind and thoughtful towards me. We offer our sympathy to you and yours. OneLove

We at GSBA will be forever grateful for the opportunity to get to know and love this beautiful woman. Whenever Zenda brought her to the office there was such a spirit of calm and peace that shown from her presence; it permeated throughout the entire space. We loved her, and we are sending our prayers and love to Zenda and family. - Valarie Wilson, Georgia School Boards Association

My condolences and prayers to the Bowie Family. Zenda I will always remember your mom as a true GEM

Dorothy Freeman and family send their prayers and comfort to the Bowie and Whittaker family.

We will remember Vanzetta as a gifted writer, devoted family member and servant to all mankind especially children whom she taught and inspired. She will be missed as she has "picked up her heavenly wings" and joined the eternal family. Cora Bowie Davis and family.

Zenda, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Georgia State Association of Parliamentarians

I remember her soft spoken voice and gentle ways. As a team member with her for Vacation Bible School one year, I observed that she was creative and artistic; the children enjoyed working with her. My deepest condolences to the family and I pray for your comfort and strength during this trying time. -Debi McClendon, St. Matthews UMC, Greensboro NC
