His family system is really complicated, isn't it? I never got it straight if he was in his mother's second marriage, or who all his sibs and step-sibs were.
Yeah, this is a step-sib from his dad's marriage. I think you or cathy found out his mom's marriage to his dad was her second. But since he and Rosette were very nearly the same age, it's obvious to me that they weren't blood. Unless his parents needed much more than a crane at some point.
Hi Sue! It's been so long since I've been on here that I had to look up my password!
Looking back, I recall that Rosette died in 2011 about a month after Zenos died, a sad time for the family no doubt.
Do you remember I did a heap of online research a few years back to try to piece together the complex Linnell clan? Well, what I am pretty sure of is that after divorcing Kathleen Linnell, Zenos was married to Geraldine Lattimore/Linnell. Geraldine was formerly Geraldine Nazor, married to Hugh Nazor, and the mother of Karen and Lesley (John's stepsisters). It appears that Geraldine is presently married to David Lattimore, father of Rosette, Evan, Michael, Clare, Maria and Anne, and living in Lincoln. But I suspect that the link to the Lattimores is more complex than that as Rosette referred to John as her 'big brother' in one Facebook entry. I was never convinced that I had solved the puzzle.
Oh, hey, cathy, long time no hear! Yeah, I remember you did a lot of research, and i sort of vaguely remember belatedly (but i'm too lazy to look it up!) that you actually pointed me to the source where I found this. So, Rosette was the daughter of John's stepmother Geraldine? And Zenos had a total of 6 kids, including Karen and Lesley? I'm confused as to how those 2 could be his stepsisters if Zenos' obit only mentioned the 4 Linnells as surviving kids? How old are they?
Here is my understanding of the way it all fits together - although I could of course be incorrect!
Zenos and Kathleen Linnell had 4 kids - Andrew, Julia, John and Maggie.
Geraldine and Hugh Nazor had 2 kids - Karen and Lesley
David and Emily Lattimore had 6 kids - Michael, Clare, Maria, Evan, Anne and Rosette
Zenos was married to Geraldine after he split from Kathleen. Geraldine is presently married to David Lattimore.
That is the scenario suggested by the evidence I've found, but there may be another layer of complexity. All those offspring are in about the same 10 year age bracket.

Condolences to his family, in any case.
