With her granddaughter, Karen, she had the opportunity and was always excited to travel to California, Florida and Hawaii. She loved her family and doted on her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She resided for the past 11 years at the Studley Assisted Living Home in Rochester where she received excellent care and loving attention.

So sorry to hear of Lorette's passing. I have many fond memories of Lorette and Pat growing up. They were great friends with my parents, Pat & Myra Desmond, and they were all so involved witht he VFW in Winslow. We had many wonderful times out to Sam & Roseanne's camp in Belgrade. I often think about Lorette when I go to visit my parents and sisters grave at the Veterans Cemetary. She and Pat were a big part of our family too. May she rest in peace and may they all be joined again in Heaven. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

I would like to offer on behalf of myself and my mother Cecile Green our sincerest condolences. Aunt Lorette was a part of my early life when I was a child. I still remember with great admiration the times she would visit our home on Leighton Terrae along with Uncle Pat. She had the greatest laugh. I now live in Southern California and have been here since 1970 so my contact with that side of the family has been negligent at best. I have on my desk, at work, the Ross family photo that shows the entire family. I constantly look at it and have such fond memories of those days. My best to the family

Dick, my sincere condolences on Lorette's passing.
Rochester will be a lesser place without a person that loved helping people. It's not hard to see why the "fruit don't fall far from the tree" May she rest in peace.
