Life Story for Zelda Marie Stanton
Zelda Marie Crump Stanton passed away June 12, 2017 at her home in Hood River, Oregon surrounded by family and friends. She passed as she wanted – peaceful, beautifully and with dignity. Zelda was born May 13, 1923 in Hood River, Oregon and was 94 years of age at the time of her passing.
Zelda and her sister Genevieve Crump Lingren were the children of Bruce and Verlie (Douglas) Crump. She spent most of her life in Hood River and was a true Hood Riverite attending local schools Coe Primary, Park Street, May Street Junior High and Hood River High School. In 1947 she graduated Cum laude with a BS in Nursing from the University of Portland.
She married Jules Clark Stanton on October 29, 1949 and spent 47 years together before his passing in 1996. They had two children: Nanette Idzerda and Bruce Stanton.
Zelda’s work history and spiritual history were centered in the Hood River area. She worked for Anderson’s Ice Cream shop as a youth and then Hood River Medical Group and ultimately Hood River Memorial Hospital where she was promoted to supervisor of the Medical/Surgical Department. As a child she attended Asbury Methodist Church and then First Christian/Valley Christian where she taught kindergarten Sunday school. She returned to Asbury Methodist Church and then moved to Asbury Methodist/Our Redeemer Lutheran when the two combimed (now known as Spirit of Grace).
Upon retirement, Zelda traveled the United States via RV going to Steens Mountain for hunting and fishing and the Oregon Coast for salmon fishing. She loved knitting Christmas stockings of which 700 plus found homes in over 42 states! She also enjoyed fellowshipping with the Happy Hands ladies and spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Zelda was preceded in death by her parents Bruce and Verlie Crump (1952); her husband Jules Clark Stanton (1996) and her sister Genevieve Crump Lingren (1997). She is survived by her children Nanette Idzerda of Portland, Oregon and Bruce Stanton Hood River, Oregon; grandchildren Shannon McBride of Redmond, Oregon, Nathan Stanton (Brandy) of Hood River, Oregon, Sybil Hernandez (Dominic) of Portland, Oregon, Nicholas Stanton (Carolyn) of Aloha, Oregon; great grandchildren Matthew, Trevor, Brennan and Aaron McBride of Redmond, Oregon, Bryce and Alyssa Stanton of Hood River, Oregon, DJ, Evan and Julian Hernandez of Portland, Oregon, and Kyla Stanton of Aloha, Oregon; and numerous nieces and nephews.
