Zerita and her husband Robert began one of the very first legal video companies in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in the early 1980's. They continued owning and operating that business until retiring to the farm in Winnsboro in 2013. She loved jumping on the tractor and working the land. It gave her great joy to cut and bale hay on the 100 acre farm near the home in which she grew up. Zerita and Robert raised beef cattle. At times they took care of 25 to 50 head of cattle. She was a worker until the end, never letting dust settle on her shoes. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm at Beaty Funeral Home 816 W. Broadway Winnsboro, TX.
