Zebre Ann Hughes

February 26, 1952 - November 28, 2021

Zebre Ann Hughes, daughter of James Marshall and Evalina Collier, was born on Tuesday, February 26, 1952. She fell asleep in death on Sunday, November 28, 2021. All who have had the privilege of knowing Zebre Hughes will remember her as the life of the party and someone who loved her family dearly. She was the younger sibling to her sister, Docia “Jean” Collier. One of her earliest ambitions was to have and raise a big family, and she most certainly accomplished this! A hardworking and loving mother of nine children, Zebre raised her children in a Christian household as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Zebre loved her extended family and her many cousins, nieces and only nephew. Her children hold fond memories of her melodic voice, and her singing was a gift she passed onto many of her children and grandchildren. Her favorite songs were, “Somebody Bigger”, and “To Sir With Love.” Another gift Zebre held that ties members of her large family together was her humor! There was never a dull moment with her around, and we will treasure her laughter always as a memory in our hearts. Other pastimes and hobbies included playing 1500, pool, skating, cooking, dancing, traveling, and watching movies as well. Her biggest accomplishment aside from her family was being a top salesperson multiple times throughout her career in sales. We all look forward to the same hope in the Bible Zebre herself held, as found in Job 14:13-14. She was preceded in death by her father James Marshall, mother Evalina Collier, older sister Docia “Jean” Collier, and son Orlando Marshall. She leaves to cherish her memory her children Jalina Marshall, Vidal Marshall, Arletta Marshall, Orlando Marshall, Aspacia Tears, Melody Hughes-Reid, Lajoy Hughes-Rembert, Nathaniel Hughes, and Antenerio Hughes, grandchildren Sharde, Darrell, Shaneka, Shanell, Eric, Alexis, Delonnie, Cortez, Daquan, Dajshia, Brianna, Daeshon, Rolando,Terrell, Layla, Destiny, Desere,Tania,Tanasia, Vidal Jr., Pharaoh, Tasia, Chanell, Jaquan,  Syntoria, Khalil, Ebbrin, and SaRiya, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
