Florine Freeman Shore, age 82, of Alto, went to heaven on Saturday, January 27, 2024.
Born on April 16, 1941, in Cleveland, she was a daughter of the late Charlie E. Freeman and Nellie Mae Presley Freeman. She was a member of White Creek Baptist Church, enjoyed attending local church services, and supporting her son Anthony at the churches he pastored.
She retired from the Habersham County School System where she worked officially as a custodian, but unofficially as everyone’s “grandmother” who enjoyed talking with her coworkers and bringing in baked goods. Prior to that job, she worked at both Yonah Realty and Carwood plants in the textile industry.
Outside of work, she loved meeting her “breakfast club” friends at Burger King and Dairy Queen and spent many happy days shopping at every Hamrick’s and Wal-Mart within driving distance. When she was not out shopping, she was out in her yard and garden, tending to her many beautiful flowers and getting her grass cut to just the right height.
In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her husband, Floyd Charlie Shore, and all her brothers and sisters. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family, but loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Survivors include sons and daughters-in-law, Michael Shore (Carol) of Cleveland, and Anthony Shore (Penny) of Cornelia; grandchildren and spouses, Lacey Hope Shore (Heath Hester) of Seneca, South Carolina, Shelby Shore Norris (Ryan) of Cleveland, and Cody Shore (Mattie) of Cornelia; great grandchildren, Tucker Ryan Norris, Parker Floyd Norris, and Walker Lee Norris; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Funeral services are 11 am on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, at White Creek Baptist Church with Pastor Anthony Shore and Pastor Lewis Fortner officiating.
Interment will follow in the church cemetery.
The family will receive friends from 5-8 pm on Monday, January 29, 2024, at the funeral home.
