Obituary for Leneva Effie (McCold) Zamboni

Leneva Effie (McCold) Zamboni passed away peacefully February 11, 2012 in Sparks, Nevada after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was 92 years of age.

Leneva was born May 16, 1919 in Tennessee, but lived the majority of her life between Reno, Nevada and Doyle, California. It was in Reno where she met and shortly thereafter married the love of her life, William “Pete” Zamboni. They were able to celebrate 73 wonderful years of marriage. Pete and Leneva loved to square dance together and made many lasting friendships over their several years of dancing. She was truly a lovely lady.

Leneva is survived by her three sons, William (Pat) of Oklahoma, Roger of Nevada, and Pete (Joyce) of Washington. Ten grandchildren, fourteen great grandchildren as well as a few great- great-grandchildren also survive her. Sister-in-law Virginia McCold, and many nieces and nephews also survive her.

Her husband, William “Pete” Zamboni, grandson Christopher Zamboni and all her seven brothers and sisters predeceased Leneva.

Funeral arrangements will be with Walton’s Funeral Home, Reno. There will be a viewing on Friday February 17, 2012, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at Walton’s Sierra Chapel and a small graveside service at the Doyle, California Cemetery on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in her name to the Alzheimer’s Association, P.O. Box 96011, Washington, D.C. 20090-6011.

Leneva’s intelligence and keen sense of humor will be greatly missed by all who knew her, but we know that Pete has his dancing partner back in his arms.
