Lorene Quinn Griffin, 85, passed away Monday, February 4, 2019 after a brief illness at the Hospice House in Greenville.

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.

E.), Jamie Winders (Ronnie); step-son by previous marriage, Randy Harward;  step-daughters, Sherry Coker and Dana Parisher (Tony); grandchildren, Rando (Angie), Missie, Jase (Jami), Jaci (Aaron), Callie (Sabrina), and Derreck (Kim); step-grandchildren, Haley and Kyle (Jamie);  great-grandchildren, Mallie, Hayley (Jesse), Lindsey, Lesley, Lacey, Rylee, Reagan, Suzanna, Anniston, Merritt;  step-great-grandchildren, Leah and Jace; great-great grandson, Jackson; sisters, Mae Scott, Era Owens and Eva Smith; special friends, Phyllis and Danny Ray Webb; and her fur baby, Bentley.
