Dearest mother of Thomas (Susan) Salentine, Joan (John) Moroney, Robert Salentine, James (Gail) Salentine and Patricia (Mark) Vandehey. Loving grandmother of 13 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. Dear sister of Clarence (Jean) Burg. Fond sister-in-law of Margaret Salentine Thush. Preceded in death by her brother, Erwin Burg and her sister, Florence Dorn. Further survived by other relatives and friends.

Loretta was a longtime resident of Wauwatosa and member of Christ King Parish. She was an avid and accomplished bridge player, who loved to play the piano. Loretta had a life long pursuit of knowledge and was truly a remarkable woman.

Thank you to the staff of San Camillo, Franciscan Woods and Covenant Hospice for their compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, memorials to them or the charity of your choice appreciated.

"Grace was in all her steps,

Heaven in her eye,

in every gesture, dignity and love."

Grandma Salentine had a twinkle in her eye and a loving smile when ever I had the pleasure of spending time with her. I fondly recall the way she would provide comfort to me as a little boy whether it was babysitting when my parents were on vacation or helping me down when I was stuck in the tree in her backyard. As I grew older she showed her love and interest in me with meaningful questions about my life. After I became an adult with my own family she provided inspiration with her strength and ability to keep smiling through the obstacles that arise when one lives to be 94 years old. Even in death, Grandma Salentine continues to provide comfort as God has decided to take her during the holy week of Easter when we are reminded of the eternal life that awaits us all. I am certain that Grandma is smiling down on us now from Heaven.
