Loretta Gremillion Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Loretta Mary Weitsen Gremillion announces her sudden passing on December 2, 2019 at the age of 45 years. Known to friends and family as "Ret" she will forever be lovingly remembered by her husband Mark Stephen Gremillion, by her parents Howard A. and Marion "Mickey" T. Weitsen and her sister Dorothy "Jules" Weitsen of Raleigh, NC. Ret was a Certified Expanded Function Dental Assistant and worked with her father in his Metairie dental office for 13 years. She was a loving wife; dedicated to Mark. Her passion for gardening and creative homemaking were exemplary. Ret was a beautiful soul, inside and out, and strove to make those around her happy and content. On Saturday December 14, 2019, services will be held at Grace Funeral Home, 450 Holy Trinity Drive, Mandeville, Louisiana. Visitation will be at 11 AM and a Memorial Service will be held in the Grace Funeral Home Chapel at 12 noon. Family and friends are encouraged to remain for a small reception following the services.

Mark, Howard, Mickey & Dottie, My God wrap his loving arms around each of you during this most difficult time. May he comfort and console you each and every day going forth. Ret was our light, she kept us together. She was beautiful inside and out, and we will all miss her dearly. God has surely called a beautiful Angel home, and she will live in us forever. Know that Mark and I will be here for all of you always.
