She was a homemaker and avid seamstress who loved to quilt. She continued this passion until the time of her death. Her greatest joy in this life was her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

    A graveside service will be conducted at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, July 22, 2022 at Shady Valley Memorial Gardens (Gentry Cemetery) with Rev. Richard Stout officiating. Active pallbearers will be Robert Arrowood, Gary McQueen, Keith Miller, Gary Dunn, Dennis Miller, Bobby Miller, Benny Wright, and Benjamin Tolliver. The family will receive friends at the home of Stephen Tolliver, 870 Plummer Rd., Shady Valley, TN.

    The family would like to thank Lois Blevins, Karen Buckles, Meliah Hicks, Clara Blevins, and Suzanne Cannon who provided care, love, hours of companionship, and treated Lorella like one of their own.
