The county that made me . . .
I’m Lori Philley (née Durham), born and raised in Walls, Mississippi. My dad was the Walls Bee Man, and by six I was on the corner of Hwy 301 & Goodman selling honey with a hand-lettered sign. I graduated from Horn Lake High School in 1990, and graduated from Delta State University in 1994. I’ve been serving DeSoto County in one way or another ever since.
Professionally, I spent 25+ years in marketing and still teach graphic design at the Northwest Mississippi Community College. Along the way, I built about 25 years of hands-on real-estate experience—buying, rehabbing, flipping, and managing both long-term and short-term (Airbnb-style) rentals—long before I became an agent. I also co-owned Mommy’s Secret Consignment for 15 years, which taught me a lot about customer care, fairness, and community.
My husband and I have three young adults. We love DeSoto County’s traditions (hello, Dickens Christmas, Hernando Farmer’s Market & Cedar Hill Farms, support local small businesses, and keep the coffee strong. This community shaped me—from the honey stand to the work I do today—and it will always be home.
