Loretta‘s greatest accomplishment was raising a loving and close-knit family. Her proudest moments were spent supporting her grandchildren in their activities, especially baseball. Her unwavering love, kindness, and devotion to our family will continue to inspire all who knew her.
A woman of deep faith Loretta reminded those around her every day of the importance of trusting in God. Her favorite saying, “to God be the glory,“ reflected the faith that guided her life and will remain a lasting legacy for her family.
She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
