Lorine Fay Russell Reynolds

May 15, 2019

Lorine Fay (Russell) Reynolds, 81, of Saint Albans, West Virginia, went home to be with the LORD on Wednesday, May 15, 2019. She had several strokes, which weakened this mighty woman of God. Lorine was sole survivor out of her family of 6. She was born on December 31, 1938, to the late Andrew Jackson Russell and Mildred Howelhomie (Lovejoy) Russell. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her soul mate, Harold E. (Blue) Reynolds, brother Okie Lee (Bill) Russell, sister Ruby Maxine (Russell) McAfee, sister, Evelyn (Russell) Copenhaver, brother, Gene Autry Russell, and sister Sharon Ann (Charlotte Russell) Reese. Survivors include her sister-in-law, Janet (Hunt) Russell, two special grand-nieces (who Lorine thought of as her granddaughters, since she helped raise their parents and them also), Telia AppiahAnnan, caregiver and whom she resided with, and Jessica Hager, all of Saint Albans, and dozens of adoring nieces and nephews, many of whom called her mommy, mawmaw Lorine, and aunt Lorine. Lorine was the rock that her entire family counted on and drew strength from. She was a Christian sister, wife, homemaker and was retired from K-Mart in Teays Valley. She was unable to have children of her own, so she lavished love on her many nieces and nephews. She was the most generous, unselfish lady you'd ever meet, and many times did without in order to give to those in need. Her LORD and savior, Jesus Christ was her true inspiration, she taught us all the true meaning of love and charity, and will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Graveside service will be held at 10:00 a.m. Monday, May 20, 2019 at Grandview Memorial Park, 1313 Hillview Dr, Dunbar, WV. In lieu of flowers the family requests contributions to Telia, for help in funeral costs of this special lady.
