Loretta was a mother of Four and had a beautiful soul, she is dearly missed by many friends and family.

Loretta attended Bishop Ward High School, then went on to become a hairdresser. She helped several, family ran restaurants and catering services for many years.

Loretta joined The Loyal Order of Moose in 1993, becoming a member of Women of the Moose Chapter 1562 and Lodge 1999 when the two organizations combined in 2020. If one was to go to the Lodge over the span of the last 30 years, they were likely to have enjoyed many of her culinary delights. She was affectionately referred to as Mama Moose by her friends at the lodge. Mama Moose loved to give back to the community by volunteering at the many charity events held at the Lodge.

Loretta enjoyed retirement with her Husband Bob as they traveled all over the country.
