Lavin was born in Washington County the daughter of the late William Johnson and the late Bessie Irene Johnston Johnson. She was an active member of the Oconee Church of God where she sang. She was the founder of the local Red Hat Society where she served as chapter queen. Lavin's hobbies included singing, cooking, painting and wood carving.
Lavin had many talents and she taught herself many things-to paint, play the piano - she dabbled in photography, songwriting and almost anything else that she desired to try her hand at.
She often said "Don't paint me as a saint 'cause I ain't!" But she loved God, her family and friends and would strive to be impartial, fair and loving to everyone. She was a lady in every sense of the word and she is missed more than words can say.
