Edith Walther Zoch

Edith Walther Zoch, loving mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, and sister, died in her sleep April 29 in Cypress. Edith was the first of eight children born to Albert Walther and Alma Zoch Walther on a farm outside of Warda. She

married Fred Zoch of Winchester in 1943; he preceded her in death in 1980 while living in Gonzales. Due to her struggle

with health issues, she moved to an assisted living home in the Houston area to be close to her children in 2009.

fishing and gardening, and was a great seamstress. She retired from Gonzales Bank in 1992 where she worked in the records department. She lived in Warda, Houston and Gonzales and was a lifelong faithful member of the Lutheran church.
