Lorene Erma Eaton Long was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to Lillie Hooker Eaton and Fred Eaton on December 1, 1929, along with her twin sister, Evelyn. Growing up in Winston-Salem as one of seven children, Lorene and Evelyn shared a special twin bond that connected them throughout their lives.
She became mother to Linda Marshall after marrying Bill Marshall, eventually divorcing and re-marrying James McCuiston, whom she met at her job as a bomb inspector at Western Electric; together, they completed their family with daughter Cynthia McCuiston, Denise McCuiston, and Daniel McCuiston. Lorene and James divorced, and Lorene married Henry “Hank” Hundley, and they both retired from Western Electric (then AT&T). Together with Hank—the true love of her life—they bought land in Willis, Virginia, and built a mountain home and lake, where they enjoyed their retirement fishing, and gardening until Hank’s untimely death. Lorene then sold their mountain home and land, and moved to Mount Airy to live near her sister, Marie. There, she had a brief marriage to Al Long, which ended in divorce. The last years of her life, she spent with her daughter, Cynthia, who was her caretaker, in Lewisville, NC, enjoying time at the Williams Senior Center, and summer afternoons spent on the front porch, watching humming birds, and eating ice cream.
Lorene is survived by her sister, Velma Ashley (Hayward) of South Carolina; daughter, Linda Urbano of New York, daughter, Cynthia Kiger, of North Carolina, daughter, Denise Lawrence (Ron) of North Carolina; son, Daniel McCuiston (Alice) of Kentucky; and grandchildren, Rachel Rabinowitz, of New York, Ian Lawrence, of Colorado, Bonnie Lawrence, of California, and Sonsera Kiger, of North Carolina.
