It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Loretta Colvin, a beloved mother, grandmother, and retired professional, who peacefully departed on December 17, 2023, at the age of 88, at Canopy Hickory Creek in Titusville.
Loretta was born in Hot Springs, VA, and moved to Brevard County in 1965 from Millbourgh, VA. She was a dedicated mother to her eight children, including the late Noel Colvin. She is survived by her remaining children Terry Colvin, Colleen Brown, Timothy Colvin, Charlene Floyd, Sharry Debish, Garry Colvin, and Becky Myers.
Loretta's legacy extends to her 27 grandchildren and 61 great-grandchildren, a testament to the love and warmth she shared with her ever-expanding family.
"A Mother's Love determines how we love ourselves & others."
Loretta, alongside her husband Roy Colvin, moved to Florida in 1959, where she continued to build her family. Known for her generous heart, she welcomed not only her own children but also extended love to other kids who found a second home in her care. Loretta dedicated several years as a homemaker, creating a nurturing environment for her children.
She enjoyed various activities, including fishing, shopping, and bowling, always emphasizing the importance of family time. Loretta had a sweet tooth and cherished moments of indulging in her favorite "Butter Pecan Ice Cream" after a family meal.
After her children left home, Loretta embarked on a new chapter, joining the Brevard County School Board as a School Bus Driver. Her commitment to the community and children's welfare continued even after her retirement. Loretta and Roy, her lifelong companion, used their golden years to travel and create lasting memories with their grandchildren.
The void left by Loretta's passing is deeply felt, but her enduring love and the memories she leaves behind will forever be cherished by her family and all those whose lives she touched.
A visitation for Loretta will be held Saturday, December 30, 2023 from 11:30 AM to 12:00 PM at Temple Baptist Church, 1400 North Washington Ave, Titusville, FL 32796, followed by a funeral service from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.
May Loretta Colvin's soul rest in eternal peace.
