On the evening of Friday August 14, 1998 the Angel of Silence descended and with chilly fingers sealed the lips of Dorine ..Dora" Sanford. Her soul winged its flight from this world of sin, sorrow, and pain to a place of eternal rest. She is at peace with God now and rejoicing in her happy heavenly home.
Dorine Sanford was born to the union of the late Joe and Katherine Waller Sanford on April 25, 1914 in Talbot Connty, Georgia. Mter the death of her father Mr. Ed Trice became a father to her.
During her early years she joined a local church in Talbot. County. Later she moved to New York City where she lived for several years. Upon moving back to Georgia she settled in Thomaston and joined the Greater Mt. Zion Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Rev. RR. Smith.
