Loretta would always make time for her delightful pleasures. Her family and grandkids were a priority. Cooking Sunday dinners for them brought her joy . Some of her specialties were pasta and meatballs with "gravy", home made pizza and artichokes . She greatly enjoyed her fun and entertainment . Bingo (top of the list) , playing cards, trips to the casino and working on complicated jigsaw puzzles which she would frame and handoff to her grandchildren. Loretta took pride in her precious collectables that were purchased during shopping excursions where she would "make a day of it" with dear friends.
