Lorene Wilburn Jordan

Lorene Jordan, age 79, of Vanceburg, Kentucky, sweetly entered the gates of heaven surrounded by loved ones, on Friday, November 14, 2025 at SOMC Hospice in Portsmouth, Ohio.
She was born October 27, 1946 in Carter County, Kentucky, a daughter of the late Roy Wilburn and Rosie Margaret (Parson) Wilburn.
Lorene was a member of Carter Christian Holiness Church in Carter City, Kentucky and previously for a span of twenty years during the winter months, attended First Freewill Baptist Church in Tampa, Florida.
She retired from Cowden's Manufacturing in Olive Hill, Kentucky and spent the rest of her years as a homemaker.
Lorene was a co-host with her husband Roy, of the Jordan Gospel Singing for 19 years at their family home, where she worked tirelessly in the kitchen making her famous apple cakes and other desserts. Heaven was surely made sweeter with lives being touched at each nightly service of music and the gospel message.
Lorene enjoyed watching golf, Jeopardy, and playing Phase 10 or dominoes. When she was able, she was most known for her handsewn quilts made with such craftmanship that she received many prize ribbons and even the honor of hanging at Greenbo State Park.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, Roy Jordan, now reunited again. Also, by one great grandchild, Carson Wade Allen.
She is survived by all three children, daughter, Margaret (Kenneth) Cooper of Vanceburg, Kentucky; son William Alfred (Cindy Chinn) Jordan of South Point, Ohio; son Ithel Dwayne (Angie) Jordan of Vanceburg, Kentucky; seven grandchildren, Donna Jean Skidmore of Garrison, Kentucky, Kenneth Jesse Cooper of Vanceburg, Kentucky, Brittany Ann Barraza of Charleston, West Virginia, Shelby Chinn of Teays Valley, West Virginia, Skylar Chinn of Columbus, Ohio, Madison Elaine McNay of Norfolk, Virginia and Isaac Douglas (Taylor) Jordanof Honolulu, Hawaii; five great grandchildren, Nicole Leigh (Ashton Moore) Collins, Logan Michael Allen, Mason Alexander Farney, Zavier Andrew Barraza and Londyn Isabella Ann Farney; one great-great grandchild, Colt Hagean Moore.
She also leaves behind three brothers and two sisters; Kenneth (Donna) Wilburn of Grayson, Kentucky, Randy (Effie) Wilburn of Carter City, Kentucky, Glade (Mary) Wilburn of Carter City, Kentucky, Loretta (Harold) McClurg of Carter City, Kentucky, Brenda Sue (Billy) Edwards of Williamstown, Kentucky. And numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.
Lorene wanted to give special thanks to the men at Carter Church for getting her in and out of her vehicle and a special few neighbors for helping her in times of need. She was also very thankful for her part time care giver, Debbie Jordan.
