Have you gone through the Federal Census for Lawrence Co, Ala.? .....whatever year you think Lela would have been in the household of her parents.She will be listed by name.Have your gotten a newspaper obit for your mother?I would imagine there would have been one in the town where she lived and, also where her parent's lived, if a different location....(you don't say where it was she died, so I can't tell if all are the same or different) An obit should contain a lot of info on her family....how about a death certificate for her?This would list the place she was born, and often, the names of parents and their places of birth.How about a birth certificate for your mother?It would also have the place of birth, parents names and where they, too were born.
The above are the general ways to start researching one's family.
