DAVIS FAMILY FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)

Zella Louise Avey of Tulsa was a loving wife and mother of seven, grandmother of 23 and friend to many. She died Saturday in Tulsa after 53 years of life in her home state of Oklahoma.

Zella was born the daughter of Riley Lee and Zella Maxine (Caviness) Nichol on Aug. 20, 1962, in Tahlequah . She was raised and educated in Tahlequah. Later in life Zella moved to Beggs where she lived for many years and made many close and special friends. For the past several years she lived in Tulsa with her husband Harrell Wayne “Pete” McGuire.

Zella easily made friends - not just friends but friends that become family. Her passion in life was her kids and grandkids and she often had as many as 15 at her house at any one time. As her kids were growing up Zella took great interest in their school activities and helped out with the sports they were involved in. Zella loved football, especially the New Orleans Saints, so she collected anything with their logo or name. She enjoyed camping trips to Tahlequah which were always great fun especially when other family members would join in. But most of all Zella is remembered for the loving care she showered on her 23 grandchildren.

Zella is survived by her husband “Pete”; seven children, Larry Avey, Kevin Avey, Amanda Avey, Harrell Wayne Avey, Jessie Avey, Nikki Avey and Jenifer McGuire; three brothers, R.J. Lee Nichol, Ronnie Lee Nichol and Jerry Neal Nichol; one sister Barbara Mauman; and 23 grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents and one brother Ronni Lee Nichol.

Graveside services will be held 2 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 19, 2016, at the Ochelata Cemetery. Services are under the direction of Carter Davis and the Davis Family Funeral Home. Online condolences and remembrances may be shared with Zella’s family at www.DavisFamilyFuneralHome.com.
