Q: What will you never forget about Loretta? A: Her compassion for anyone she met or knew even her neighbors. Her fierce independence as a daughter of a farm family and as a woman. She will be truly missed on Hinman Rd.

I also meet her through my classmate Jan- her and Jan would come to my apple orchard and pick Cortland apples to make applesauce to take to Florida with them. I really enjoyed knowing her and She will be missed. Barbara Reynolds

My deepest Sympathy in the loss of Loretta. She fought hard for many years, to overcome the cancer. Knowing her from our time in Orange Manor West Community in Winter Haven Florida, Loretta was a kind soul who always had a smile and kind word for others. She was a blessing to call a friend. May she rest in peace. She will be remembered by many and be remembered as a "good" and "kind" person. God rest her soul. An old friend, Nila Thewlis

Q: What will you never forget about Loretta? A: I always looked at Loretta like a bonus grandmother. When I was young I couldn’t pronounce her name so I called her Beretta (LOL). Growing up, she always came up with the best campfire stories. We’d camp out at the pond and she’d tell the spookiest stories. In the morning she would make pancakes that spelled out my brother and I’s names. She taught us board games and card games like Skip-Bo (which I still love to this day). I love you so much Beretta, you’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

Jan, I'm so sorry about Loretta's passing. Although I only met her a few times I found her very friendly and easy to talk to. I'm sure she will be missed very much.

A memory of Loretta...her smile, especially when I was trying to teach Jan something and Jan would say "just do it for me". I'd look at Loretta and she'd smile and say "that's what she always tells me". Two people who shared their lives and showed others what true care and love meant. You will be missed but always in our heart. Vickie and Russell Manke ❤️

A dear, dear friend through Homer High. She could smile or laugh and warm your heart and even though we met seldom in following years, when we did it was like we had been together just yesterday. Go in peace Lady. Friends Forever, Ginny Carroll Glezen

I always remember Loretta as friendly and smiling while she worked when I was a student at SUNY Cortland. She was always the same friendly person over the years and I always enjoyed seeing her at family events.
