Gena was born July 25, 1932, in Wheeler, Texas to Leonard and Zelma Reid. She graduated from Wheeler ISD in 1950 and was the Valedictorian. Gena married the love of her life, Bob Zybach, on May 14, 1950 in Wheeler. She has lived on their farm around the Zybach community for 73 years. She was a big part of running the family dairy and raising 3 beautiful children in a houseful of love. Granny loved her family more than words could express. Nothing made her happier than when everyone would get together for the holidays and celebrate in her garage that she had decorated for every occasion. Her chicken fried steak, hot ketchup, and noodles are famous. Actually, anything that she cooked were family favorites. Granny was known for her loving, compassionate nature. She was a strong Methodist for 71 years and a shining example of a Godly, virtuous woman.
