Loma grew up in Macon Georgia and was a graduate of Miller High School in 1960. After graduation, she received her certification as a Radiology Technician. She was employed at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia and the Veterans Administration Hospital in Augusta, Georgia.

Loma was known for her joyous personality. She enjoyed playing many musical instruments (piano, guitar, autoharp, ukulele, among others) and loved singing in the choir at Mable White Baptist Church while living in Macon, Georgia. Loma was a long-time, faithful member of Warren Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia. She served as a loving Sunday School teacher in the nursery and children's department for 14 years.
She loved attending and participating in all family activities, especially family reunions in Daytona Beach, Florida and Indian Springs, Georgia. "Granny" Loma's love and pride for her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchild, extended family, and friends was ever present in their lives. She put those she loved first and will be carried to rest by the heavy hearts of all who loved her so dearly.
