Ogren, Zina Snyder Zina Snyder Ogren "All of us are largely the product of lives that touch ours." ¥ President Gordon B. Hinckley. We are deeply grateful for the privilege of knowing Zina Snyder Ogren, a most gracious lady, whose mortal existence touched countless lives during her 92 years spent on earth. We can only imagine the great heavenly reunion as she reunites with so many of her family and friends, including her sweetheart husband, Carl G. Ogren, who passed away in 1978. Zina left her earthly existence on the beautiful morning of June 3, 2005. She spent her life in the service of others, always thinking of someone else's needs before her own, even until the end. Our mother, grandmother, and dear friend left a legacy of the pure love of Christ through her unconditional love, generosity, charity, and faith. Zina was born on March 10, 1913, to Albert F. and Aurelia Clyde Snyder. She spent her childhood in Provo as one of seven children, all of whom preceded her in death: Essie Jepperson, Birdie Shank, Evelyn Brown, Blanche, Elwyn, and Deloss Snyder. On November 15, 1933, Zina married Eric Carl Gustave Ogren. Together, they raised four children. Zina and Carl owned and operated several restaurants in Utah County. She worked, until her retirement, in the nursery and admitting department of Utah Valley Hospital, where she made many long-lasting friendships. She was a life-long resident of Provo, Utah, where she was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Zina spent countless hours caring for others. Whether it was preparing a dinner for someone in need or sitting through the night, awaiting a last breath, Zina willingly served others without ever seeking rewards or recognition. She was a true example of "the wind beneath our wings." Zina especially enjoyed spending time with her family. She loved a party and was the hostess of many. Numerous dinners, holiday celebrations, sleep-overs, and fun times were spent at Grandma's house. As we say, "See ya, for now," we will miss Grandma Zina's bright blue eyes, "nickels," jokes, phone calls, long car rides, "snacks," people-watching, ice-cream, card games, pumpkin pie, candy bowl, and her very existence as our "command post." However, these memories will be forever locked away in our hearts, filling some of the emptiness left behind, until we meet her again. Zina leaves behind her four children: Douglas (Nelma Jean, deceased) Ogren, Provo; Carla and Jerry James, Spanish Fork; Jim and Sammy Ogren, Mapleton; and Rhoda and Richard Zobell, Provo. She has six grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by a sister-in-law, Mrs. Elsie Mecham of Spanish Fork. We will celebrate Zina's life and honor her graduation at a funeral service to be held this Tuesday, June 7, at 11 a.m., in the Berg Mortuary Drawing Room Chapel, 185 E. Center Street, Provo, Utah. A viewing will be held at the same location on Monday, June 6, from 6-8 p.m.; as well as Tuesday morning, one hour prior to services. Interment will be in the Provo City Cemetery. The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the loving and caring staff members at Birkshire Rehabilitation Center, Alpine Home Care, Timpanogos Hospital, Cove Point and Harmony Hospice.
