She had a kind and loving heart that was open to all who knew her. She was born in Reichertville, GA in her parents home. She was the youngest of 11 children and is now the last one to say goodbye. She attended New Hope School and Boston City School in Boston, GA. She enjoyed being a part of the Women's Ministry of the Methodist Church and was a member of Ebenezer Church of Boston that was built by her daddy and her uncles 100 years ago. Lorene had an amazing memory til the day she went home with Jesus. There was nothing you could do or say that she would not remember. If you asked her "what was the secret to living a long life?" She would tell you to put God first and to love others more than yourself.  If you knew Lorene you were loved by her and she made sure you knew it. She was very loyal with her love for others, even her husband LT Walter E. Wheeler, who preceded her in death on February 25, 1945. She claimed he was her one and only true love and she would never love another after him, and she never did. She continued on as his dedicated wife here on Earth til it was her time to go home to him in Heaven. To this day she always signed her name Mrs. Walter & Lorene Wheeler. She loved to be outside in her garden as much as possible. When her children were young, they had to be out there with her. She would pray out loud and say to God, "Let it grow Lord, so I can have enough to share with others." That's who she was. She was everyone's Nana and friend and she let you know it. She loved her cup of Instant Coffee in the mornings, and she would enjoy a Dr. Pepper or a Lemonade throughout the day. She will be missed and loved by all who knew her. Survivors include; her grandchildren, Joseph William Moore, Jr. (Misty) of Cottonwood, AL, Cynthia Renee Moore of Thomasville, GA, Bryan Moore (Melissa) of Boston, GA, great-grandchildren, Zach Moore, Taylor Sizemore, Myles Moore, Lorene LaFont, Brittany Dunn (Eric), Christian Kreakie, Hannah Treece (Cody), Alexis Gibson (Corey), Walter "Walt" Moore, Ivey Moore, and Abby Moore. Along with many great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins. In addition to her parents, John Newton Reichert and Lougenia Ackridge Reichert, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Frances "Jane" Moore, and her 10 siblings.
