Loretta was a cherish friend. I met her thru the Daughters of Isabella. I have known her for close to 25 years..She taught me so mushwith the Daughters. I always enjoy going by and visiting with her and Joe. I would always get a kick out of Loretta, she would say my name Sharon and their dog would always get excited because he thought their daughter Sharon was there to visit. Their dog I was told loved Sharon. Prayers for one beautiful family, Jenny,Sharon, Toni and Kathy and all the grandchildren and great grandchildren

Dear Sharon, I am so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard to loose your mother. That’s a tough one. As days go by you will remember all the good memories and some of the not so good but those usually outway the good. They are always there to guide us and give us strength when time are not so good. God will take care of her now she is in good hands. I will pray for her.
Loretta was a beautiful, faith filled lady and always doing for others. Will miss her and Joe but they are together once again! Sumpathy to all her family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love, Joyce Willis
So Sorry for your loss.I met Loretta through our church. She was one of the Sweetest Ladies I have ever met. She would tell me about all the canning she would do when gardening and when we had to make spaghetti sauce at fish fry she showed as how to make really great sauce. Such a special Lady.
Loretta was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. I enjoyed working with her through the D of I. She will be missed.
