Fred William Zauner III

He had enjoyed his home at the Rogue Valley Manor in Medford, Oregon for a few years having moved from Ketchum, Idaho where he and his wife, Anne, resided since 1991.

Fred was born March 16, 1933 in New Rochelle, New York, the only child of Mrs. Virginia Hallett Zauner and Mr. Fred Zauner Jr. His father was President of the Rye Trust Company and the Rye National Bank. Everyone Fred met quickly recognized his New York accent. He was a graduate of St. Lawrence University. He was always proud of his Austrian heritage and regretted never visiting Bad Ischl, Austria where his family started the famous Konditorei Zauner. He was also proud of his military service in the United States Army.

Fred met Anne Barnett at a Republican meeting in Pound Ridge NY where they both lived. They were married June 9th 1984 at St. Mark’s Church in New Canaan, CT and held their reception at the Tavern on the Green in New York City.

After retiring in 1989 from Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States as a senior group account representative in New York, he and Anne moved to her hometown of Ketchum, Idaho. Golf was Fred’s game. He greatly enjoyed many rounds on the beautiful courses in Ketchum and Sun Valley. Other favorites were bridge, classical jazz, soaking up the sun, collecting stamps and coins, gardening, baseball, television, sudoku and breakfast at the Manor. His quick wit, humor, and practical outlook on life will be much missed.

Fred is survived by his wife, Anne; daughter, Jennifer; stepdaughters Michele and Audrey; stepsons, Steve and David; granddaughter Lauren Brady; step grandchildren, Caroline and Camille Barnett, Grace and Madeline Barnett, Evan and Alan Ryder, Olivia King, Willow Lucas; greatstepgrandchildren, Summer and Kaia Lucas.
