Leoma Lewis Gore Obituary (1930

"Servant of God , well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy." Mrs. Leoma Lewis Gore, the third child of four children was born on February 02, 1930 in Loris, South Carolina to Ms. Molly Lewis and transitioned to be with the Lord on Tuesday, June 17, 2008. She was a very gifted individual and one of her greatest talents was her ability to write poetry. Leoma received her early education in the public schools of Horry County. In 1951 she graduated from Morris College in Sumter, South Carolina where she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and furthered her education by successfully obtaining a Masters Degree in Human Resources and Management from Webster University in Charleston, South Carolina. Leoma had a very fulfilling career as an educator with the Charleston County School District, faithfully serving her community as an English teacher at both Bonds Wilson and North Charleston High Schools. She gracefully retired after more than thirty years of dedicated service. She was a very caring person, who was always willing to give of herself to those less fortunate without hesitation or any recognition. Leoma unselfishly gave of her time and talent by volunteering both at the Jenkins Orphanage and the Florence Crittenton Home. For many years she was an active member of New Tabernacle Fourth Baptist Church and most recently Calvary Baptist Church under the pastorate of Reverend Arthur Evans, Sr. Loving memories of Leoma will be cherished by: a devoted niece, Martha Smith; loving grandniece, Marti Smith and a host of other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
