Meet Our Staff
Meet Donita Rinearson
As one of the owners at Down South, Donita is enjoying partial retirement, but happily pops in on occasion to work alongside her daughter. When in the store, she also finds joy in working with employees that feel like family! With three years in the furniture industry, extensive sales and finance experience, and being a previously successful owner of two prior businesses in the last 26 years, Donita’s leadership takes her above and beyond in her business endeavors. Hard work and dedication has brought her to an exciting time in her life! Having the opportunity to hand pick the furniture that comes in the store and watch as her customers are filled with excitement is such a fulfilling feeling to her. Though she gets to pick many pieces that come into the store, one of her favorites would be the keyhole table made from a church in Mexico that was over 100 years old. The character in this piece reflects the character within the store! Donita loves the Down South family and urges you to come be a part of it by shopping with the family today!
Meet Courtney Hawkins
Courtney is a part of the mother-daughter duo that owns Down South! Owning Down South isn’t her first rodeo. Prior to this business she was able to learn many things from her former retail business that she owned for over 10 years. The pieces made from the old church doors in Mexico hold a special place in her heart. With the original keyholes and door hinges, these pieces bring so much character and originality into the store. Courtney is living out her dream through this business, having the opportunity to help other families tell their stories through their home. So much more than a job, working at Down South is a home away from home. Within the last year, Courtney's last name went from Hawkins to Lafferty. You may recognize that name from the list too....that's right - Nick & Courtney got married in 2022! 27 years in the making, their marriage is their happily ever after, and she is so blessed that he came aboard to help run the business. Courtney hopes that you will come join the family fun with them and see what the store has to offer to help turn your house into a home!
Meet Stella
Stella is the life of the party here at Down South! With her fluffy coat and a great big smile, Stella is our beloved door greeter. Life is great when you're a Goldendoodle and you get to spend time with old and new friends all day long! Stella believes she works one of the most rewarding jobs as she gets lots of treats from the friendly guests that come to see her. Greeting all the new friends is hard work, so when things slow down you will often find her napping in her bed, often snuggling a beloved toy. Stella is dedicated to putting a smile on your face and hopes you will come swing by and say "hi" today!
Meet Randy Rinearson
Randy is the Down South office manager. He's been working in the furniture industry for three years, however, he has been in business management for over 37! Randy's favorite piece from Down South would be the United Leather Malone recliner. Between its good looks and extreme comfort, he couldn't resist buying one for himself. Though he considers himself semi-retired, Randy loves to spend time in-store with his wife and daughter. Between the friendly atmosphere, positive attitude, customer commitment, and family ownership, Down South makes the perfect place to spend his days in comfort. When not in store, you may be able to find Randy flipping homes or fishing. Randy loves his lifestyle and is here to help make sure you love yours too!
