Still Cookin’: Lorene Thrasher, 94, looks back on hard work, home cooking, love and laughter
Mary Lorene Thrasher was born 94 years ago in a small sawmill camp across the Alabama line. She didn’t have to venture far to find a full life. She’s lived the past 65 years in the New Hope community, within a few miles’ distance of where she was raised, where she milked cows twice a day, pulled potatoes and learned to make corn husk mops.
