January 24, 1936 – January 24, 2026
Born in West Bend, WI to Immanuel Henry Zautner and Norma Claire Gonnering.
She spent the last 55+ years residing in Tucson, AZ, before that living mainly in Wisconsin. Her story is long and eventful, but in short, she enjoyed her life and did all the things she wanted to do!
She was a longtime member of the Tucson Stamp Club, but her greatest passion in life was deltiology — the collecting of postcards.
Having amassed over a million cards, she helped start the Tucson PostCard Exchange Club, where she served as president and editor of the newsletter for over 20 years.
She was preceded in death by two of her sons, Jonathan Henry Cram and Jeffrey Paul Cram. She is survived by Jerold Alan Cram, Paula Claire (Cram) Essmeier, and Randall Robert Wade, along with seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Rachel Pauline (Cram) Kendrick also held a special place in her heart.
She wanted to extend a special thanks to Corey Lynn Wade, wife of Randall, for all the time and care given to her over the last 20 years, and to thank her for sharing countless memories with her two grandchildren, Capri Lynn Wade and Carsin Randall Wade.
