Zion recently received a gift of several hundred thousand dollars from the estate of Merle Dobbs who died in July 2009. This gift will be used for projects within the congregation as determined by the Zion Foundation. Merle grew up in Buffalo as Merle Stromberg. She married Len Dobbs and they made their home in Edina working together in an insurance business. It was through the pastoral visits over the past 40 years that Merle and Len maintained their friendship with Zion. They visited as they were able, listened to chapel line daily and kept up through the newsletter. Len died in August of 2005.

He was ordained as a Lutheran minister in 1945, and served at congregations in Vermont, New York, Rhode Island, Minnesota and Connecticut. May peace be to his memory!
