Loretta loved God and believed in the blood of Jesus Christ from a very early age. Attending church was instilled in her and her brother, Eugene, by their mother and they faithfully attended church every Sunday. Loretta had a beautiful singing voice and loved to sing in the choir and praise the Lord. 

Loretta graduated from Omaha Central High School in 1968. She went on to complete courses at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and later worked for the City of Omaha. She was employed at several other businesses in the Omaha area, where she lived out her life. 

This amazing woman was known as Ms. Independent due to her persistent desire to make moves on her own. She was an avid bus rider and made her way around the metro area almost daily. Her days included writing letters to family and friends, visits to Wal-Mart, the post office, library, bank, church concerts, and Joe Tess Fish in south Omaha. Loretta was frequently seen out and about by her family and friends where she was often greeted and well-received with love.
