Lorene was born in Greeneville on April 12, 1925 to Onnie Myers Collins and Jesse Lee Collins of West Barton Ridge Road.
Lorene was a life long resident of Greeneville, loved Jesus, growing flowers, knitting and watching NBA basketball on TV. While in her later years she lost most of her vision, she never lost her loving spirit for life, a contagious smile, and a sharp witty mind. She will be missed.
Survivors include nieces: Yvonne Shelton of Gibsonville, North Carolina and Connie Shelton Brown (Paul) of Greeneville; and nephews: Arnold Shelton (Meredith) of Greeneville and Mike Collins (Paula) of Atlanta, Georgia.
She was preceded in death in by her beloved parents; sister: Edith Shelton; and brother: Roscoe Collins, all of Greeneville.
A special heartfelt gratitude to Elmer Tweed of Greeneville who cared for her home while she was away and all her caregivers at Life Care Center.
The family will hold a graveside service and interment in GreeneLawn Memory Gardens on July 20, 2019 at 10 am.
