She is survived by three children, David, Susan Blake and Terry (Mary).

She was a devoted grandmother to 17 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

Zella was preceded in death by her dear husband of 44 years, Earl Eugene McAnallen, who passed away in 1993; her oldest son, Jimmie, who passed away in 2012; and all eight of her brothers and sisters.
