Zemma was born in Kaplan, LA on June 18, 1941 to the union of Jeffery Roy and Lillie Celestine. She spent her adulthood residing in Abbeville. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, aunt and friend to all she met. Zemma touched the future through the many children she taught throughout Vermilion Parish. She had recently retired from the Vermilion Parish School Board after working 34 years. She taught at JH Williams Middle, Eaton Park Elementary, Herod Elementary and Kaplan Elementary. Zemma was a beautiful person who loved and cared deeply for people. She was an avid lover of life, zydeco music, going on cruises, and an occasional trip to the casino. Her greatest joy was in spending time with her grandchildren and children. She will be greatly missed.

Leonard and her husband Steven of Pittsburgh, PA, Gwendolyn C. Cole and her husband Anthony, and Ena C.
