Zula Larsen Obituary
Zula E. (Taylor) Larsen, 84, of Midland, died Feb. 6, 2011, after a period of declining health. She was born in Gulfport, Miss. and grew up in Purvis, Miss. In 1946, Zula moved to Midland to marry L.P. "Pete" Larsen.
Zula was predeceased by her husband in 1998 and is survived by her only child, Elaine; brother, Larry Taylor; two sisters-in-law and numerous nieces and nephews.
Zula was and will always be a blessing to those fortunate enough to know her. Her generosity of spirit, her kindness and capacity for love were without equal. Her love of God was the foundation of her life and nothing could diminish her love and dedication to Him.
In accordance with Zula's wishes, no funeral was held and burial was private. Those who wish to honor her life and memory should follow her example by donating to Open Door Ministries and other Christian organizations that feed the hungry, house the homeless and provide for the needy. Proverbs 31:10-31 (KJV). Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Ware Smith Woolever Funeral Directors.

When I was a kid, Zula used to watch me when I was sick. She was a caring person, that always took care of people in need. I don't remember too much about Pete, he liked to spend time outdoors and at the cabin. I remember she loved her daughter very very much. I do remember Zulas baby, Trickzie and then Trickzie 2. She loved both dogs! She always thought of other people before herself. She was much loved and a role model to everyone who knew her, a true Southern Bell. I send her daughter my deepest sympathy. She will be missed here, but I am sure they are celebrating her arrival in heaven.

Zula was a spiritual mother to me and a blessing to my three children, Sunshine, Sean and Ryan and me. She was a lover of the Lord Jesus and a friend to all who she came into contact, showing the love of the Lord. I will always remember her and her sweet hospitality. I send Elaine my sympathy.

I offer my sympathies to the people of Midland County who had the opportunity to work and be with Mrs. Larsen over the years when she was so involved in ministry. Her visits to the Midland CountyJail over the years were much appreciated. She was a fine lady who followed in the steps of her main man, Pete. They were a neat couple and so involved. I am sorry there was not a service for her, giving us a chance to honor her. May the Good Lord grant her eternal rest.
