Born July 20, 1926 in McDowell County she was the daughter of the late Luther Faulkner and Laura Webb Faulkner. She was a homemaker and member of Bluewell Church of God for 26 years. She loved feeding wildlife. Loraine was a godly woman who loved her family and community. She was such a guiding light and inspiration for so many people with her gentleness, kindness and generosity. She loved her gospel music and loved to praise and teach about the Lord. She had such a twinkle in her eyes and a spot of mischievousness that would warm a person’s soul. The Lord saw one of His most gentle servants so tired and weary that He called her home to stand by His side, His gentle angel. Our angel will live forever in our memories and in our hearts. Our memories will tide us over until we see her again standing beside the Lord to welcome us home.
