Also known as Sandy or Zeny, passed peacefully at her home in Georgetown on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at the age of 82 years old. Beloved wife of Ted Van Klink for 54 wonderful years of marriage. Dear Mother of Genevieve and Edward. Sister of the late Tomas Funtanilla (Antonia), Patria Lim (Edgardo), and the late Manuel Funtanilla (Geny). Predeceased by her parents, Cleofé Funtanilla and Consuelo Fontanilla (Blanza). Zenaida will be missed by her nieces (Trixie and Coreen), nephews (Noel, Apostol, Joseph, Roland, Carlo, and Clarence), and her extended family.
She will be remembered as a devoted wife, a loving mother, a compassionate nurse, and a woman of unwavering faith in Our Lord. Her generous spirit was evident in her many years of volunteer service at her parish and the local hospital, and her long-standing association with the Catholic Women’s League exemplified her commitment to faith and service. She was deeply cherished by all who knew her, and her memory will be honoured with enduring respect and affection.
The family extends their heartfelt thanks to all relatives, friends, and members of the community for their prayers, kindness, and support during this time. Your expressions of sympathy and acts of compassion have brought great comfort and are deeply appreciated.
Prayer: Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
