Lorine Ashleigh Roach

Lorine Ashleigh Roach, 53, passed away peacefully on February 15, 2026, surrounded by her family.

She was the true embodiment of love - a devoted wife, cherished mother, the most extraordinary GiGi, and very best friend. To know her was to experience unconditional love, unwavering faith, and a kindness that left a lasting mark on every heart she touched.

Her life reflected her deep and steadfast faith. The light of God shone so brightly through her, guiding the way she loved, served, forgave, and protected. She taught her family to trust God in every season - in joy, in uncertainty, and even in life's fiercest storms. Her faith was not just something she spoke about; it was something she lived daily.

As a wife, she was devoted and steadfast - a true partner in every sense of the word. As a mother and GiGi, she loved fiercely and with her whole heart. Her family was her greatest treasure, and she poured herself into protecting, nurturing, and supporting them. Even on days most could not imagine enduring, she faced them with remarkable strength and a radiant smile. In her hardest moments, she made sure her family felt loved, supported, and shielded from the storm.

Her sweet spirit and willingness to help others were evident in every part of her life. She faithfully served at Victory Health Partners for 12 years, pouring her heart into caring for others as Clinic Director. She was deeply dedicated to her work, serving patients and colleagues alike with compassion, excellence, and grace.

She loved spending time with family and friends, especially in her cherished role as GiGi. Her beautiful smile could light up any room and overcome any circumstance. She had a way of making everyone feel seen, valued, and loved. If you knew her, you know just how special she was. And if you did not have the blessing of knowing her personally, know this: she loved fiercely, forgave freely, and lived with her heart wide open.

Her legacy is one of unwavering faith, sacrificial love, gentle strength, and joyful service. Though her presence will be deeply missed, the love she gave so freely will continue to shine through the lives she touched.

She is survived by her loving husband of 29 years, Ronnie Roach, Jr.; two daughters, Allison Roach Kendrick (Kenneth) and Lauren Nicole Roach; one grandson, Jayden Thomas Roach; her mother, Dianne Fleming Thomas; her sister, Melissa Thomas Trehern; as well as a countless close-knit family, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her father, Murdock Larry Thomas, Sr., and her loving brother, Murdock Larry "Bubba" Thomas, Jr.

Her funeral service will be held on Saturday at 2 P.M., February 21st, 2026, at Mars Hill Church. The visitation will be held prior to the service on Saturday from 11 A.M. to 2 P.M., February 21st, at Mars Hill Church.

May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her and legacy to future generations to live a life marked by love, faith, and selflessness.
