November 20, 1909 Mrs. G. Zunkel, whose death on Thursday night has been chronicled, was a most exemplary woman. She was 56 years of age and was born in St. Joseph, Missouri where she lived until she came to Phoenix five years ago. Her family was one of the earliest in the state of Missouri. Mrs. Zunkel was a charter member of the First English Church of St. Joseph and was very active in church work. She assisted in the organization of the Ladies Aid Society in that city and was its first president, a position she occupied for three years. On account of ill health she came to Phoenix five years ago accompanied by her husband and two daughters, now Mrs. D.A. Donofrio of this city, and Mrs. J.W. Alsap of Los Angeles. The daughters bought a half interest in the Donofrio Confectionery Store which was thereupon incorporated under the name of the Donofrio-Zundel Confectionery Company. The funeral of Mrs. Zunkel will take place on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 from the family home, 213 East Van Buren Street and will be conducted under the auspices of the First Church of Christ Scientist with which Mrs. Zunkel united after coming to Phoenix and in which she found great comfort and relief.
