Medora Halford Sorani

May 23, 1947 — October 3, 2024

Hendersonville, Tennessee

Medora Halford Sorani, a beloved spirit and radiant presence in the hearts of all who knew her, peacefully departed this world on October 3, 2024, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, surrounded by her loving family. Born on May 23, 1947, in Nashville, Tennesse, Medora embodied a vibrant essence that lit up every room she entered. Her laugh was infectious, her kindness boundless, and her love for those around her was truly larger than life.

A proud graduate of Hendersonville High School Class of 1965, Medora not only excelled academically but also shone brightly as an all-city basketball player, setting the foundation for a life defined by passion, dedication, and a fierce spirit. Her remarkable personality allowed her to connect with anyone she encountered, earning her the title of "Mom" and "Nannie" to countless people over the years. Medora held an unwavering belief in the goodness of humanity, caring deeply for everyone she met with her generous heart.

She cherished her role as a devoted wife to Jerry Sorani, with whom she shared 47 years of love, laughter, and companionship; she is survived by her children, Lavenia Carpenter (George), Jeffrey "Buck" Buchanan (Monica Jones), and Jerry "Jay" Sorani, Jr. (Penny Gentry); her grandchildren, Kenyon Carpenter, Kate Carpenter, Tanner Buchanan, and Taylor Buchanan; brother, Mike Halford, along with a host of nieces, nephews, and friends who were touched by her generosity and compassion. She was preceded in death by her parents, Byron Michael Halford and Willie "Maxie" Herring, along with her aunt and uncle, Sam and Mildred Patton.
