Galynne Trivette

March 3, 1947 — July 18, 2019

Galynne "Lynne" Gregory Trivette, 72, of Spartanburg entered the Kingdom of Heaven Thursday, July 18, 2019 in the care of the ICU nursing staff of Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System's Mary Black Campus. Born March 3, 1947 in Spartanburg, South Carolina to the late Reverend Gary Guy Gregory and Hilda Cannon Gregory, Lynne was a graduate of Hilderbran High School who earned undergraduate degrees from Brevard College and Pfeiffer University and graduate degrees in education and language arts from the University of North Carolina Greensboro. A retired educator with 41 years of teaching experience in the Rowan County, High Point City, Guilford County, and Polk County Public School Systems of North Carolina and Spartanburg County Schools of South Carolina, Lynne spent most of her career as a teacher at Johnson Street Elementary School in High Point, North Carolina where she served as the school's Lead Teacher and Principal Pro Temp for nearly two decades. Her educational career also included professorship at Guilford Technical College, Asheville Buncombe Technical College, and Greensboro College. She concluded her career as a substitute teacher in Polk County from where she retired in 2010. During her teaching career Lynne received numerous honors including the prestigious "Time Warner Crystal Apple" award as one of Time Warner's top 15 public school educators in the nation, was 14 times the single highest performing teacher in End of Grade testing scores by her students in the state of North Carolina, and, along with her team of Diane Love, John Ruth, and Richard McCormick at Polk County Middle School achieved nationwide recognition for superior advancement in testing results. A gifted musician named "Most Talented" by her peers in high school, and in Brevard College and Pfeiffer University, she greatly enjoyed performing on the piano and organ as well as arranging music. A church organist and professional accompanist for nearly four decades, her talent was dedicated to serving her fellow man and the Lord as she donated her entire salary for her professional services to the churches she served. Lynne also enjoyed gardening, reading, and above all else her family. Much of her free time was spent around a kitchen table playing a heated game of Scrabble with her aunts, providing end-of-life care to members of her extended family; and foremost, dedicated to the quality of life of her children. Lynne was preceded in death by the parents, Reverend Gary & Hilda Gregory, and her 10-year senior brother, Gary Dennis Gregory. She is survived by her husband of 49 years, Jonathan L. Trivette of Salisbury, NC, daughter, Anna Leigh Chan (David) of Inman, SC, son, Jonathan Gregory Trivette of High Point, NC, and niece Suzanne Armistead of Maysville, GA. The family will receive friends on Sunday, July 28, between 3:00PM and 3:45PM at Floyd's North Church Street Chapel located at 235 N Church St, Spartanburg, SC (29306). A memorial service will follow at the same location beginning at 4:00PM officiated by Dornswalo McCorey of Chesapeake, VA and Mr. Jonathan G. Trivette with music provided by Ms. Dorian McCorey of Greensboro, NC.
