Born on October 9, 1939, in Hampsted, New York, Meme was the daughter of the late Clarence and Esther Neu.

As a loving wife, nurturing mother, proud grandmother, and supportive aunt, she was the heartbeat of her family, who will be greatly missed. 

Those remaining to cherish her memory are her loving and devoted husband of 62 years, George Zajac; daughter, Robin Mattson (Johnnie) of Newport; son, John Zajac of Morehead City; and grandchildren, Elizabeth-Noelle Jenkins (Wesley) and Johnnie Mattson Jr.

In addition to her parents, Meme was preceded in death by her brother, Richard Neu.
