She married Perry Allen (Shorty) Lawrence on October 21, 1954. He was the love of her life. Zoda loved being outside, she loved her greenhouse that dad built her. She also loved fishing and being around the reiver especially if it was moving. She took joy in the simple things like butterflies, and birds, and she always used it as a teaching moment to be gentle and do no harm. She would also hand you a lizard or snake if she had a chance. Her family was everything to her. She could cook up a storm and made the best chicken and dumplings and turkey and dressing….
