Louzena Jefferson

Louzena D. Jefferson, better known as “Zenie”, daughter of Esther Jefferson and the late Louis DuBois entered this world on June 20, 1952 in Seaford, Delaware. She transitioned from this life to eternity on Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Zenie’s education years were spent in the Seaford School District. While attending Frederick Douglas she participated in the school band and was a dynamic Baton Majorette. In High School, there wasn’t a dance that came out that Zenie couldn’t do. She was truly light on her feet and didn’t mind showing everyone. She graduated from Seaford High School in 1970. Zenie was known for daring someone to do something while she sat back and fell out laughing at them. Zenie had an infectious smile that could be seen across the room. Her friendly personality made her a very caring and likable person. She found happiness in making others feel better and made a positive impression on everyone else around her with her friendly demeanor and great sense of humor. A very dedicated employee, Zenie worked at the Salvation Army in Seaford, Delaware as a Direct Care Specialist for 18 years. She was a true workaholic who very rarely passed up an opportunity to make overtime. Her co-workers loved her and could count on her in a pinch. She was a Founding Member of Rehoboth Temple of Praise under the leadership of Bishop Leon J. Wilson. She was also a former member of Trinity Holiness Church in Laurel, DE; and Refuge Temple in Seaford, DE under the late Apostle Leon Williams. She served the Lord, her community and family with uncommon love, strength and dignity. Zenie enjoyed attending church when she was able. She had a melodious voice that would make you praise God even when you didn’t feel like it. She truly believed that God’s House should be taken care of and didn’t hesitate to bless the House of God in her giving. She had a heart of gold and would help anyone that she could. Zenie deeply loved her family and was truly devoted to their happiness. She touched many lives with her wit, her love, humility and kindness. She leaves a legacy of love that will be remembered by all the lives she touched. She leaves precious memories with her mother, Esther Jefferson of Seaford, Delaware; her devoted and loving son & daughter-in-law, Kevin & Aginah Jefferson of Seaford, DE; a daughter-in-law, Sarah “Liz” Jefferson of Salisbury, MD; seven grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren; a brother & sister-in law, Michael & Audrey Jefferson of Millsboro, DE; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She will be sorely missed, but will be celebrated through memories. Zenie was preceded in death by her father, Louis DeBois and her oldest son, Demea Jefferson (MEME).
