We will miss Loretta and Kokomo's many visits to our hospital. Such a kind and loving person who loved Kokomo so much. We will never forget singing "In heaven there is no beer" while Kokomo bobbed his head. Kokomo would always wave his foot "goodbye" when they left. We're going to miss them alot.

Loretta, I will never forget how compassionately caring you were to my mother when she was at Wesley Village in the last days of her life. When you came by her room with a boom box and played polka tapes for her, my Mom (and our family) could not appreciate it more. She always enjoyed watching you on WVIA Pennsylvania Polka, and truly admired what you did for Seniors. God Bless you and welcome you into Heaven. Rest in Peace.

I enjoyed when Loretta would bring Kokomo into the vet hospital for his routine beak and nail trim. Singing and dancing would always ensue. It was obvious to everyone how much they loved each other. I will miss seeing them. My sympathy to her family. Deb Sicherman, vet tech (Trucksville Dog and Cat Hospital)

Dear Carol and Family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Loretta's passing. She was a firecracker and seemed to have endless energy. She was always thinking of others and enjoyed seeing the nursing home residents and the veterans have a good time. I will never forget our Polish Princess and polka dancing with her at so many events. May she rest in peace. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Dear Family of Loretta,
My deepest condolences are extended to you on Loretta´s passing. She was a wonderful, caring person who loved being around the residents of Wesley Village Nursing Home. When I was a resident in the rehab department, she would come over to take me to the activities. Was always cheery and pleasant. My special memory I have of her is her Polish Pottery and icons display she had last year as an activity , complete with polish entertainment and food from dietary. She also brought her beloved Coco to show the residents. We will all have a nice memory by seeing her on WVIA on Saturday nights at the polkas. May she rest in peace.

I remember when I was about 13 I took a class to learn to square dance down at the Nanticoke Armory with Loretta and we danced and danced for what seemed like hours. We had so much fun! She always invited me and my two kids in to see Cocomo and we´d sit and have the most wonderful conversations together. And who could forget all the polkas with her and Joe. They are together now and I´m sure he had a big smile waiting for her.

Loretta was a pillar of dedication in the long-term care facilities and in her own hometown. She was my inspiration, my hero when I became an Activity director. She brought so much joy and love to the lives of many, especially those who didn't have family. Loretta was also a regular attendee on WVIA's polka shows. She will surely be missed by many people. My sincere condolences to Loretta's family and friends. May she rest peacefully in eternal life.
