Loretta spent 15 years as a realtor and 30 years with Moore Business Forms as a Vice President. She enjoyed traveling, especially to Europe and throughout the United States, genealogy, family adventures, games including slots and cards, motorcycle racing, riding dirt bikes, and western dancing.

She loved having all of her family involved and all the amazing families that they met, many becoming life-long friends. She was a master at managing the record keeping at races, including taking care of 500 racers and finishing the day without a hitch.
