Loretta Agnes Zvarick

I´m finally finishing the rug Loretta helped me start around 2008. I think of her as I braid.

Moved to a new home this year and the red braided rug she made for me in 1974 (!)~along with the memories~brought sweet tears of my wonderful Aunt.

Today I was using one of Larreta’s potholders and I envisioned her stopped at a traffic light picking up her knitting and making that for me. What a gal!

Thank-you everyone for your heartfelt messages. Thanks for the memories. My mother was someone who loved everyone she met and she is held in my heart with great admiration for her unending love for her family, friends, and God. She gave me the gifts of love, caring, sharing, honesty, forgiving, and above all a faith in God. Without this faith through her example of love, I could not have made it through many trials. She was always there for me with her wisdomand love, but above all with...

There was no one in the world like Loretta. I have so many fond memmories of her. She was always the teacher...and I leaned many things from Loretta.May she rest in peace with her maker.

"A mother to many and an excellent role model." She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. She so often comes to mind. I remember standing in line with all the girls to get my hair braded. I was always made to feel like one of the family. Still do.
My love and best to all of the Zvarick family.

My husband and I first met Loretta in 1981 at an open house. From that visit she became a part of our lives by finding (with unending energy) our first home which we still live in today. With this home came free rug braiding lessons from Loretta which I still enjoy today. Loretta will be sadly missed.

I was very sorry to hear of Loretta's passing. I knew her through Project Linus and used to drop off the blankets I made at her home. We would always have a nice chat and she showed me the beautiful hooked rugs she made.

I am very sorry to hear of Loretta's passing. I knew her through the wonderful volunteer work she did with us at Project Linus. Her energy and committment to children was an inspiration to us all. God Bless her family
