Loretta loved Holidays! She would cook the best homemade meals and make it special for the family! She always made enough for seconds and for everyone to take home dinner. She and Evert loved playing games with friends especially dominoes! They laughed so much telling the family about their game times. She loved to travel enjoying the beach or mountains. She liked her garden of flowers around the home. Her and Evert planted a small garden every year tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions. She worked tirelessly preparing for each Sunday for her preschool Sunday classes and loved vacation bible school and Falls Creek for church camp. She read alot of bible literature and the bible. She loved her family, grandson and great granddaughters. You could ask Loretta to go someplace with you and she would jump at the occassion. She nurtured all children with loving arms and patience for listening and the children loved her! Giving her time to them was important wanting each child to learn the love of Jesus.
She liked to tell about her growing up with her Mom and Dad, her sisters and brother. Hard times and good times that made her a strong woman. She had a great sense of humor! She was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, and sister. She was a special one of kind child of God. She will be missed by everyone that had a part in her life. She leaves a piece of herself in all of us. She was just that kind of a Lady!! I love you Loretta, I love you Mom!
