Zoe Ann Broughton

Zoe Ann Juneman Broughton passed away on Thursday, September 28, 2023, after a difficult battle against cancer for three and a half years. She was eighty years old and lived a full and vibrant life.

Zoe was born on February 2, 1943, in Houston, Texas to Julius and Catherine Juneman.

Growing up, she attended Riverview Baptist Church. She graduated from Austin High School in 1961.

In 1986, she married James Broughton. They shared over 28 years together.

She had a passion for travel and adventures. Zoe enjoyed snorkeling, water skiing, snow skiing, camping, zip-lining, and indoor sky diving. She was also creative and a talented painter, often painting landscapes from her many adventures. Zoe also valued spending time with family, especially her kids, grandkids and cousins.

Zoe has one brother, Julius John “Jay” Juneman, Jr. As kids they often water skied, spent time on the boat and traveled as a family including many road trips to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Her “twin” cousin, Mary Blackburn, was born 12 hours after her in the same hospital making Mary more like a sister than a cousin.

Zoe is preceded in death by her parents, Julius and Catherine Juneman and her husband, James Broughton.

She is survived by her brother, Jay Juneman; her son, Brett Burgess and his wife, Cindy; her daughter Wendy Pierson and her husband Ty; her grandchildren Brianna Burgess, Zackery Richards, Joey Pierson, Brayden Burgess, and Ethan Burgess; cousins Mary and John Blackburn and Carolyn Holmstrom; and numerous other nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, October 5 at First Methodist of Bryan. There will be a visitation at 11:00 AM, followed by a service at noon.
