Zelia had an older sister, Mary Ann, who also taught school. They had a close relationship with one another and with their parents, George W. Lunt and Harriet Bacon Lunt.
Parties, get togethers and friends, especially her women friends, were important to her.
She attended lectures outside the Seminary, visited factories and businesses in the Saccarappa and Westbrook communities, read the Portland Transcript newspaper, and was interested in topics of the day such as Shakerism, mesmerism and phrenology.
She was a voracious walker and an accomplished seamstress.
