Barbara A. Zeits
Died June 24, 2019

NORTHPORT – Barbara Ann Zeits, 74, of Northport, passed away Monday, June 24, 2019 at home surrounded by her loving family.

Barbara was born April 8, 1945 in the dining room of the Dalzell home in Northport.  She was the daughter of Frank and Elizabeth “Betty” (Flees) Dalzell.  On Jan 6, 1965 at St. Mary’s Church of Lake Leelanau; officiated by Fr. Frederick Voss, she married Arnold “Arnie” W. Zeits who preceded her in death on April 29, 2019. 

Barb loved watching and feeding the birds and deer.  She was always outside doing yardwork; Barb kept her yard picture perfect, even using a shop vac to clean up helicopter seeds.  In the winter she could be seen snow blowing her entire yard.  Barb would spend time and effort at the cemetery keeping the Dalzell family plots in perfect shape.

She loved cross word puzzles, crocheting and cooked from scratch from what ever meal that popped into her mind.  Barb took love and pride in taking care of her husband of 54 years, Arnie.

Barb is survived by her siblings, Robert (Diana H.) Dalzell, Geneva (Ken) Graham, Regina “Toot” M. Denoyer, Maxine (Charles) Davis; her in-laws, Hugh (Jean) Zeits, Charles (Jackie) Zeits and many loving nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband Arnie, her parents and a brother, William Dalzell. 

Cremation has taken place, burial in Leelanau Township Cemetery will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers memorials may be directed to Leelanau Township Fire and Rescue, PO Box 338, Northport, MI 49670.
