She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she served in many callings including Relief Society President.
Zina was blessed with a gifted coloratura soprano voice and love for music. At an early age she performed with her sisters on a weekly radio program. During her college days she soloed in the Messiah and many other university events and traveled throughout Utah and Idaho on concert tours.
