She attended Arkansas State University until her marriage to Ralph Herbert Ziegenhorn in 1940, and move to Fisher.

 Her life there focused on her family, active participation in Fisher Baptist Church, where she served as clerk for 34 years, and supporting her husband in rice farming, an enterprise carried on by her son, Herbert.

 Soon after Ralph’s death, she moved to Jonesboro. There she became an active member of Central Baptist Church, volunteering in the prayer room, taking part in senior activities and Sunday School, and traveling with friends.

 Lela delighted in the company of her family and enjoyed several trips with them, from

Mexico to Hawaii, as well as hosting summertime visits to the family farm. Traditionally, they occurred on her birthday, a date shared with her daughter Ann that they enjoyed celebrating together over the years. Regardless of the setting, she lit up at the suggestion of a tile rummy game — which she often won.

 Her interest in the world around her was life-long. She followed news, politics, and sports on a daily basis through newspapers and television news programs.

 Lela’s favorite color was pink, and she surrounded herself with it in all shades. She loved sitting in the midst of the azaleas, petunias, impatiens, and geraniums on her patio while visiting with people she loved.

 Lela was known for a quiet and considerate way of being that was laced with inner strength, thoughtful evaluation, ever-present faith, wit, and love. She was also admired for her impeccable style.
