Obituary of Lavina G McGuffie

Life story of LaVina G. McGuffie 

        LaVina was a bright soul that touched  each and every person she came to know in her life. She was a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother. She traveled the world due to her father being in the U.S. Army. She lived on an army base in many places for most of her life with her loving mother, one brother, and three sisters. She was the middle child out of the five of them. After a while her family settled finally in Huntsville, Alabama before she herself moved to Folly Beach, South Carolina. LaVina along with her husband raised their son and daughter in James Island. Many memories have been in the house they grew up in. Her kids looked up to her like she was a superhero. Things were not always the best but she made the most out of it. Through her life she dealt with a lot of mental and physical pain. However, she was never the person to show the real pain she was facing. She always had a smile on her face. She would always make jokes and brighten everyone’s day. She was an animal lover and would rescue as many cats as she could; she even picked up a tortoise or two. Although she passed suddenly at the age of 57, her legacy will continue to live on. She taught her kids to be the people that they wanted to be and to not let their fears or negative people get in the way of those dreams. She always loved people for who they are and wanted everyone to be happy in their own skin. She will not only forever be a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother, but also be an inspiration that you can be whoever you want even if you came from nothing.
