We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Loretta's family. Words cannot describe our heartfelt sorrow.

A kind, caring friend and co-worker at Stonehill College for over 40 years, Loretta always displayed kindness, patience, compassion, competence, and intelligence. She was sincere, thoughtful, gracious, and articulate . We shared so many good times with our office family, celebrating weddings, children, graduations, etc. As her co-workers and friends, we were all so proud of Loretta when she graduated from Stonehill College with highest honors in 1984.

Loretta was extremely devoted to her family, as well as being devoted for so many years to serving the academic needs of the Stonehill community, especially the students and faculty.

Loretta will be truly missed and forever in our hearts. We feel honored and blessed to have been her friend for so many years. We will cherish the precious memories of her forever.
