Loretta was a longtime member of the Peckville Assembly of God Church. Before relocating to Tunkhannock, she was a longtime member of the Montdale Community, where she lived the majority of her life. She worked at Gress Poultry for many years as a chicken processor.

She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and extended family going to parks and having parties. Her hobbies included cooking, baking, watching and listening to the polkas. Loretta was truly a wonderful woman who took in many children as her own without question or judgement. She had a heart of gold and was always there to help anyone who needed it. She was loved by everyone who knew her and, if you had the opportunity to know her, you were blessed. She will be missed dearly by everyone who knew her.
