Zoé was the daughter of Toussaint Charette and Zoé Brayer St. Pierre. She married Louis Joseph Tessier on 29 June 1874 in Clarence Creek, Ontario, Canada. They moved to Michigan sometime before April 1875 as their first child, Nora Eleanor was born on 13 Apr 1875.

Zoé's Charette line goes back to France also. Some of her siblings carried the name Charest, while others, including Zoe` carried Charette. This seems to have been a French Custom that carried over from France.

From family verbal history, Zoé died at the home of her son, Julius. This home was actually a log cabin far in the woods. She reportedly died suddenly while making bread and son Julius came in from outside, finding her dead on the kitchen floor.

Her grandaughter, Margaret Neelis, used to tell stories about how Zoé was a "living saint" and kept her adult children in line. Reportedly, whenever she would hear any of them arguing..she would go outside and raise her fist to heaven and say in French....My God, have mercy... From family records she spoke and understood very little English.
