Not sure what to say?

Just heard of the passing of our dear cousin. Saw her at the family reunions, weddings, funerals. She always took time to reconnect and update me about her side of the family. She'll be missed and loved forever. Joann (Boehm) Shell, Otto's oldest daughter.

I was one of several WBBM-TV news directors lucky to have worked with Loretta. She was very smart, loyal and always knew the right thing to do. A truly great person.

I was the Nurse for CBS TV and Radio for many years. Loretta was always someone you could ask questions about any particular incident, and she would know the answers. She had a great sense of kindness and humor.

Loretta was the assistant to the news director when I arrived at WBBM in 1987. She was a very helpful and calm presence in that "lively", loud and exciting place. Rest in peace.

As business manager of the WBBM TV newroom, Loretta and I worked closely for a decade. She was quite versatile and often covered for me when I out. Loved that woman and she will be greatly missed.
