It would seem very likely that Zelia's husband Robert was deceased at this point.

Her daughter Heloise Josephine Mott is also buried there with her husband John and a couple of their children. I believe her husband Robert Garnett Waggener is also buried there. Her headstone reads: Zelia A.G. wife of Robert G. Waggener Born Dec 31, 1803 Died Jan 17, 1861
