Lue Dora Stinson, born June 30, 1945, transitioned
peacefully from this life on June 12, 202. Her life was
a beautiful testament of faith, family, perseverance,
and love.

Born to Elmira Parks and Charlie Stinson, Lue Dora
grew up surrounded by a large and proud family
that included the Parks, Caldwell, Gates, Reeves,
Stinson, and Thrash families. She was one of ten
siblings: Simon Reeves (Beatrice), Charlie Stinson
(deceased), Annie Kate Stinson, Mary Emma Stinson
(deceased), Enoch Stinson (deceased), Jeanette
Stinson (deceased), Nellie McGruder, Rebecca Head
(Tony), and Ellen Brown.

A proud academic and trailblazer, Lue Dora
graduated from Greenville Consolidated High
School in 1966. She went on to make history as one
of the first two Black female graduates of Troup
County Area Vocational
-Technical School (now
West Georgia Technical College) in 1968. She
became a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and
faithfully served her community through her work at
the Roosevelt Institute for Rehabilitation from 1979
until her retirement in 2004. Her more than thirty
years of compassionate care left a lasting impact
on countless lives.

Lue Dora was a lifelong Christian who gave her life
to Christ at an early age. She found great joy in
praising the Lord through song, singing with the
Combined Gospel Singers and as a faithful member
of the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church Choir. Her voice
was a source of inspiration and comfort to all who
heard it.

Beyond her professional and spiritual commitments,
Lue Dora was a woman of many passions. She
found happiness in fishing, crocheting, reading, and
diving into the Word of God. Her warm spirit,
generous heart, and unwavering strength made her
a cherished mother, grandmother, and friend.
She leaves behind two beloved sons, John Stinson
(Ann) and Thomas Stinson Sr. (Felicia); two
treasured grandchildren, Thomas Stinson Jr. and
Taegan Stinson; her siblings; and a host of nieces,
nephews and loved ones to cherish her memory.
Lue Dora Stinson’s life was a light that shined
brightly for all to see. Her legacy of love, strength,
and faith will continue to live on through the many
lives she touched. May her soul rest in eternal
peace.
