Zella loved and clung to life, family, and friends but did not fear death. She passed from this world
confident of the words in: John 3:16. "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
The last time Zella's two sons were together with her, she pulled them both to her cheeks. With her face showing pure contentment, she said, "If you're looking for a happier old woman than I am, I don't know where you're gonna look." What more beautiful and sincere words could express her faith?
Honorary pallbearers are: Trent Dietert, Randall Harris, Kent Price, Jeremy Howard, Rickey Ball, & Benny Ball.
