Herlene grew up in Holly Hill. When she met the love of her life, Howard, she moved to the Charleston area. She worked in the food and beverage industry for 30+ years serving patrons at Morrisons, Piccadilly, and S&S Cafeterias. In her free time, she enjoyed talking on the phone, shopping, and tending to her backyard vegetable garden. However, her greatest moments of joy were when she spent one-on-one time with her sisters.
