Zona, also known as “Granny”, was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend to all. She never went anywhere she didn’t know someone. Her daughter, grandchildren and great granddaughter were the apple of her eye. She also adored her fur babies and treated them like family. Zona loved eagles, collecting Tom Clark gnomes, and cross stitching. She also loved to enter drawings to win things and usually did. Zona left a void that will never be filled. Her family will forever cherish the love, laughter and friendship she brought into their lives.

There are no services planned.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the funeral fund of Zona Brisson, c/o Bladen Gaskins Funeral Home, P.O. Box 3150, Elizabethtown, NC, 28337.
