Tis the season to be grateful. All LifeStore locations will be closed on Thursday, November 23, for Thanksgiving Day. We hope you have a happy and safe holiday.

Welcome To LifeStore

Angela Hall joined LifeStore Bank earlier this month as our Electronic Banking Specialist. Angela worked in retail banking before moving to this area and says she likes the customer interactions with banking customers and adds that she enjoys helping people.


Angela loves the mountains, and she and her husband, Dwayne, relocated to Ashe County from Marion, North Carolina. She enjoys hiking and baking, and during the Fall season, she enjoys making elaborately carved pumpkins.    

Sarah Real joined the Deposit team in Boone as a Financial Consultant. Sarah worked in Treasury Management with a large bank before moving to Ashe County. She enjoys working in banking and is excited about getting to know the LifeStore customers and starting her career at LifeStore Bank.


Sarah is a Baylor University graduate, and she and her husband, Britton, met there while in college. In Sarah’s spare time, she likes to cook, enjoys dancing, and likes playing with her dogs. 


Welcome Angela and Sarah!

Happy Anniversary

Amy Price, Human Resources Director, was recently recognized for her 10-year LifeStore Anniversary. Amy says the best thing about her job is helping our employees be successful. She enjoys her coworkers and is grateful to be in a working environment where we can laugh and have fun but also "buckle down and get the job done."


Amy and her husband Brantley live in Warrensville, while their two grown sons live and work in the Raleigh area. These days, Amy is excitedly spending her free time visiting her family and preparing for her son Cole's wedding next summer. Congratulations, Amy.

Aprile Love, Personal Lines Account Manager in our Boone Office, was recently recognized for her five-year LifeStore Anniversary.


Aprile shares. "I love my job and want to help our customers to the best of my ability. I enjoy the day-to-day interactions with our customers and learning more about them, lending an ear when they need someone to talk to. I am so grateful God has blessed me to be able to be a part of LifeStore and hope to be for many more years."


Aprile and her husband Jimmy live in Villas with their four "spoiled rotten" dogs. Congratulations, Aprile.
