Jessie (Black) Zink

Jessie B. Zink

Liverpool, PA

Jessie B. Zink, 90, of Liverpool, entered eternal rest on Friday, October 20, 2023, peacefully at her home.

Jessie was born on February 1, 1933, in Millerstown, a daughter of the late Jonathan and Elenor (Thompson) Black.  Early in life, she married the late Wayne Lower.  After Wayne’s passing, she later married Ray Zink, who also preceded her in passing.

Jessie was a graduate of Greenwood High School.  She was employed at Bell Telephone Company in the billing department.  When she married Ray, she compassionately worked side-by-side with him in their business, Zink’s Greenhouse.

She was a member of the Liverpool Senior Center and Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Liverpool.  Among her favorite activities, she enjoyed going to the Liverpool Senior Center every day and going through her mail every day searching out charities that help people in need and, thus, donating to those charities.

Jessie is survived by her children, Steve Lower of Arlington, Virginia and Brenda Cumberledge and her husband Mike of Shermans Dale; grandchildren, Tiffany Lower and her companion Jordan of Alexandra, Virginia, Sean Lower of Portland, Oregon, and Ryan Cumberledge and Nathan Cumberledge both of Shermans Dale; and a sister, Kay McDonald of Mechanicsburg.

She is preceded in passing by her parents; husbands, Wayne and Ray; son, Keith Lower early in life; sisters and their spouses, Beverly and Harvey McMaster, Deloris and Larry Latsha, and Mary and Amos Miller; and brother-in-law, Richard McDonald.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 4, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. at the George P. Garman Funeral Homes, Inc., 606 N. Front Street, Liverpool, PA 17045, with Rev. Dr. J. Richard Eckert officiating.

Inurnment will immediately follow in Liverpool Union Cemetery.
