I knew Zella many many years ago when I first started to work in Long Term Care. Zella was not only beautiful but she had the most wonderful disposition. May her memory be for a blessing

I met Zella in 1989 during the beginning of my Career as a Occupational Therapist Assistant, Zella admired by sincere interest in caring for the patient assigned to me and asked to speak to me , we spoke and the rest is history . Zella hired me and was a fair minded professional businesswoman and paid me a very fair salary. Zella was very protective of her team of therapist as leader and allow no one to be verbally abusive to us as a professional team under her watch. Zella was quite a adviser in financial affairs which I appreciated as she guided me thru some real life challenges. Zella was not a Boss Lady she was a friend who I respected as a businesswoman and a friend for over 30 years. I will miss her . and her calls to check on me and my family and to catch up on what was going on in the therapist world.
