Lenora

Maddox

Born on February 4, 1981, Lenora Maddox departed this life on December 30, 2025 in Richmond, Virginia.

Lenora was primarily raised by her paternal grandparents Charles and Lois Maddox in Mount Vernon, New York where she attended public schools and went to Community Apostolic Church. She later moved to Richmond, Virginia with her Aunt Lear, Valeria Holcomb, where she attended and graduated from Armstrong High School.

Lenora was an Aunt and her nephews and nieces loved the time they spent together and as children they welcomed her preparing sandwiches and snacks, and going to the park.

Her simple joy was writing, quoting scriptures, eating sweets or food, talking on the phone to family members, receiving gifts or monthly packages, and giving away personal items to others.

Lenora made us better people and her memory will live on. We are grateful to ALL the family members, caregivers, doctors and therapists who played a vital role in trying to making the world accessible for Lenora.

The world without Lenora will be different, but we will continue to live with the hope she's now at peace. She was a bright young lady.

The beauty of really knowing Lenora is knowing her capacity to give. And when she gave, she did so with all she had and gave freely with no expectations.

When one passes it can change your life immeasurably. She was predeceased by her son, Michael; parents, Daniel "Sonny" and Juanita Maddox; sisters, Lisa and Dena Maddox; brother, Michael Maddox; maternal grandparents, Otis and Mary Ruff; paternal grandparents, Charles and Lois Maddox; aunts, Elizabeth Fowlkes, Odessa and Linda Ruff and Valeria Holcomb; uncles, Harry"Ricky" and Raleigh Maddox.

Lenora is survived by her sister, Lois Kim Lane (Mitchell); aunts, Shirley Dorsey and Dolores Maddox; uncle, William Fowlkes (Eloise); nieces, Martha Tianna Dimmie (Adrien - Predeceased) and Rhonda Maddox; nephews, Deran Maddox and Arnold Mitchell Lane Jr., numerous close cousins, other relatives and friends, who will carry her memory in their heart.

A virtual Memorial Service will be held in her honor.
