Brad and family,
She lit up the room with her smile. Her zest for life and positive outlook will never be forgotten. Whenever I saw her she always spoke of her grandkids and kids. She loved them with all her being. We will miss her so much! Great memories made at Card Club and First Federal. Thinking of you all.
Love, sandy and Phil
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Loretta was always such a positive person with such a great smile. May your precious memories comfort you.
My heart is sad to hear of Loretta’s Homegoing. Though we rejoice that she is with her risen Lord and Savior, we will mourn our loss of her here on earth. I know your pain goes deeply because you loved her deeply. Loretta was a shining example of living out Philippians 4:11-13 where Paul writes, “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me”.
And so, Loretta has fought the good fight, and she has finished the race and she kept her eyes on Jesus. I look forward to meeting up with her one day.
I pray peace and comfort to her family.
Brad, Krystal And Cody,
We will miss Loretta’s beautiful smile! She was a blessing to us all in card club. Our prayers are with you now and in the future.

Brad and family, our deepest sympathies on the passing of our dear Loretta. She was an inspiration to all given the many challenges she faced. She loved her family and she loved telling stories about your many adventures. She had a huge smile on her face just thinking about her children and family. Our love to all.

So sorry to hear of Loretta’s passing. She was always such a positive, caring person with a beautiful smile. Always that smile. She loved her family dearly & will be missed by all blessed to have known her. She will live forever in the house of the Lord. God bless.❤️
What a sweet woman…so sorry for your loss.
Brad, Crystal, Cody and families, Loretta was a dedicated wife, mother & grandmother whose eyes lit up and her beautiful smile widened when she spoke of you. The days before kids we had so much fun in the big bird Trans Am on our roadtrips to Don Panchos for the best Chile Con Queso & margaritas! Your mom loved going to jazzercise & she would pick me up and drag me along. I wasn’t as enthusiastic about it as she was!
I will treasure these memories and her friendship forever in my heart. She was special. Loved by all who knew her and will be sorely missed.
Cody, Hayley, Krystal and family

I have not seen Loretta in a long time but her smile was infectious. She loved her family dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Brad so sorry to hear about Loretta. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers
Our deepest sympathy to all Loretta’s family. Prayers continue for all of you.
My deepest sympathy to the Watson family. I have never met a person like Loretta before. Always upbeat, positive, and even joyful in the midst of such on-going suffering. She “walked” and talked with God all day long. That’s where she received her strength. She was a wonderful friend to me and I will miss her smile so much! But I can’t help to be joyful at the thought that she is now walking and even running in Heaven. She is living with Jesus and is finally healed and whole! What a sweetheart. I’ll never forget her!
Brad, Krystal and Cody, I was so sorry to hear of Loretta’s passing. She was such a kind person and always thinking of others, even when life was hard for her. The world has lost a true light, but heaven has gained one. Love, Pam
