Albert Lee Lorance

A beloved husband, father, and grandfather who touched the lives of many, Albert grew up in Woodbury, TN but had resided in Hendersonville, TN since 2019.

Albert was born in 1939 and lived through remarkable times and approached life with an extraordinary spirit of acceptance and positivity. What truly set Albert apart was his ability to face life's challenges without complaint. 

A proud Army veteran, who served his country with honor, Albert was a heavy machinery operator until he retired and also was known for his exceptional ability to fix almost anything. His hands were not just tools but instruments of care and creativity, always ready to repair, rebuild, and restore - much like his approach to life itself. He loved to plant and garden as well. 

Albert found joy in the world of CB radio. He loved the camaraderie, the stories shared, and the connections made across miles. His microphone was his gateway to friendship, always ready with a kind word, a helpful tip, or a story that would make others smile. 

In his leisure time, Albert was a dedicated viewer of classic entertainment. Old westerns transported him to tales of adventure and heroism, while the comedic antics of the Three Stooges and the Beverly Hillbillies never failed to make him laugh. These shows were more than just television - they were a source of comfort that reflected his love of storytelling and humor. Albert also loved watching football being a big Tennessee Vols fan and a Tennessee Titans fan. 

In his younger days, Albert found additional joy in the great outdoors. A passionate hunter and fisherman, he cherished moments spent in nature, finding peace in the quiet landscapes and the simple pleasures of pursuing his passions. These experiences shaped his character.

Albert is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Virginia; his son, Lee; daughter-in-law, Chastity; brother, Randy (Shandra); and sisters, Brenda, Pam, and Annette. He was preceded in death by his parents, Morgan and Stella; his daughter, Teresa; grandson, Ramon Lee; brothers, George and Henry; and sister, Evelyn, Carolyn, and Wanda. His legacy continues through his 4 grandchildren, Chasity (Brandon), Sean, Jessica, and Ava Danielle; and 8 great-grandchildren, who will forever cherish the memories, wisdom, and love he shared. Albert loved his dog, Titan, who was a constant companion for him. 

Those who knew Albert will remember his unwavering positive spirit, his ability to never complain, and his generous heart. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who always put his family first. His legacy lives on through the lives he influenced, the things he fixed, and the love he shared.

Albert will be deeply missed but forever remembered in our hearts. His spirit continues to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
