Lola was a member of Zirconia Missionary Baptist Church and was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved to cook, sew and spending time in her flower garden; however, her greatest love was her family.

The family will receive friends in the chapel of Forest Lawn Funeral Home one hour prior to the graveside service, and other times will be at the home of her son, Charles "Chuck" in Zirconia.
