Lorene was born in Franklin County, Va., on May 22, 1933 to George Thomas Quinn and Esther Crook Quinn.
She was a talented seamstress that could sew anything from doll clothes to wedding dresses. She loved her flowers and enjoyed spending hours in her yard and her children’s yards. She never met a stranger; she cherished her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchild. She was loved by many and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
