  Zola was a beautiful lady.  I enjoyed visiting with her at Burnside in Marashall, IL. My mother (Lucille Smith Hillard) and Zola were high school friends / classmates at Martinsville, IL. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I know she will be greatly missed.

  Zola Mae will be missed....from the jokes to the advice on how to change a diaper.  The times I spent with her were few but the memories will last forever.

  Don & Carol - so sorry to hear about your mom.  She was very special.  I always enjoyed getting to see her at Burnsides when I came to Marshall.  She's in Heaven now with Cleo, Leslie and my mom having coffee.
