Our mother was always so kind and thoughtful and always full of spunk and smiles and she was a great storyteller. She was truly the strongest lady with a lovely and wonderful soul. She will be missed by anyone that had the pleasure of being in her company.
We would like to send out a very heartfelt thank you to Dr. Guinti, Dr. Patterson and nursing staff especially Jenn and Bailey, who went above and beyond to make sure our mother was always comfortable. They showed great compassion to our mother and her family. A huge thank you to Great Northern Retirement home where she has spent the last 5 years of her life, she truly loved living there and would always say how kind everyone was and made her stay there feel like home. A special thank you goes her close friends Dorothy, Barb and Annette.
As per Loretta’s wishes cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation or funeral, a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
