Loretta was raised in Kansas City, Missouri and was a graduate of Central High School.

In her spare time, she loved spending as much time as possible with her family. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly. She had a love for all things outdoors as she loved to garden, taking care of her animals and riding her horses. Her happy place was atop her horse trail riding near the flowing rivers and creeks in Eminence, Missouri. Inside her home she loved cooking for her husband Reid, especially fixing up a batch of his favorite cookies.

She was a loving and a caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and will treasure the memories she created for her family and friends.

Arrangements are under the direction of Allee-Holman-Howe Funeral Home, Camdenton, Missouri.
