Zora Lee Watkins

My deepest condolences to the family. I enjoyed meeting you, you were so welcoming. The neighborhood won’t be the same without your presence. Love Carol and Mike.

I would like to honor and celebrate the life of Ms. Zora Watkins, a remarkable woman of God whose strength, compassion, and unwavering faith touched every life she encountered. Ms. Zora Watkins was a woman who stood firmly in her convictions, faced every challenge head on, and carried herself with the quiet assurance that through faith, victory was always possible.
Her dedication to family, friends, and community was evident in all that she did. She gave freely of herself — offering encouragement, wisdom, laughter, and love to those blessed enough to know her. Whether through a comforting word, a helping hand, or simply her presence, she made people feel seen, valued, and cared for.
Zora will be remembered for her warmth, her engaging spirit, and those piercing eyes that seemed to look directly into the heart of a person. She possessed an indelible tenacity that inspired others to persevere no matter the circumstances. Even during difficult seasons, she remained steadfast, leaning not on fear, but on faith.
Her faith was deeply anchored in Jesus Christ, and it guided every aspect of her life. She believed in the power of prayer, the promise of grace, and the assurance that God never leaves His children alone. That faith became a source of strength not only for her, but for everyone around her, especially her children – Ava and Waymon.
Though her earthly presence will be greatly missed, the legacy of Ms. Zora Watkins lives on in the countless lives she touched. Her love, courage, and devotion leave an imprint that time cannot erase. May we honor her memory by carrying forward the same compassion, resilience, and faithfulness that she so beautifully embodied.
“Well done, good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:23.

Mrs. Zora Watkins was a saint. She was my supervisor at Defense Language Institute for about six years. She cared about people and was a wonderful Christian lady. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was widely respected. I remember once when soldiers were quarreling from different countries she told them to shake hands, apologize, and resolve their differences at once. She was a people person. She stood up for what was right and once asked a soldier if he had been drinking as she smelled alcohol. She stood up for people when they were treated unfairly. Thank G-d for her well-lived life and may her memory be a blessing. I know she is in a better place as she spoke of heaven even before she fell ill all those years ago. I really loved her and I know she was a dear friend to me.

I remember first meeting Zora as my supervisor at DLI. We had some good laughs, and a very short dance at one of the DLI activities, where colleagues asked if we were the entertainment. I missed her playfulness when I left DLI. I wish her the best on her new journey, and look forward to catching up with her some day.

I didn’t know Zora very well. I would see her at Grace First Baptist Church or at the home of our mutual friend, Betty Jones. Zora was always warm and friendly. I liked her immediately; her sense of humor and her warmth. I pray that her family is comforted in knowing she is no longer suffering, that she is at peace in the welcoming arms of our Lord and Savior,

Rest Easy Mrs.Watkins. My Sincere Condolences Go Out To Ava & Waymond, And The Entire Watkins Family. You Will Truly Be Missed. You Fought A Good Battle. God Seen You Getting Weary And Called You Home To Rest In His Arms. Fly High Queen Z. You Lived A Life As Beautiful As You Were. And You Will Be Forever Be Remembered For Your Kindness And Love. To Be Absent From The Body Is To Be Present With The Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8

Sending condolences to the family. May the Lord give you’ll the strength need during this difficult time.she has joined the Angels in her heavenly home.

My condolences to you and your family.
