Lorine, as she was called by family, has deep roots in Shelby County, Alabama, all the way back to Needham Lee and Susan Bailey who settled in Shelby County around 1816. Born and raised in Helena, Lorine married Manual H. Cook in 1916 and they moved to Gadsden. Around 1937, they moved to Atlanta for Manual's work at the steel mill. Lorine was very involved with her church, Loring Heights Baptist, Deering Road in Atlanta. Lorine played the piano though she never had any lessons and played completely by ear.
Lorine and Manual had 10 children who survived into adulthood. At the time of her death in 1984, Lorine had over 60 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
