Mayola was born on May 12, 2017 to Donavan Del-Ray Cousins and Kelly Logsdon Cousins in Ponca City. Her life brought great joy to her family with her joyous, active personality and her bright smile. Mayola’s joys in life came from dancing to music with her family, having her fingernails and toenails painted, playing in the sand and watching Veggie Tales. As well, she was known to devour some banana pudding and fancy cake treats. Mayola’s time here was a blessing for all of those that met her and shared in her joy.
