Loretta Boyd Obituary
Loretta Ann "Peachie" Boyd, 54, of Knoxville, Tennessee, and formerly Front Royal, Virginia, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Tuesday, February 21, 2023. Loretta was a beloved wife, daughter, mother, and grandmother.
Loretta was born on April 21, 1968, to Ann and Shirley Jenkins. She graduated from Warren County High School, Class of 1986.
She provided service throughout her career with various positions served within the local community. She was particularly proud of her role at Valley Health as the Team Leader in Dietary and Nutrition where she spent a numerous number of years and made many lasting friendships.
Loretta always dreamed of living in the mountains of Tennessee and for the past two years of her life, she has lived that dream with her family by her side.

Loretta is also leaving behind her beloved dogs, Angel, Scooter, Minnie, Panda, Little Boy, Kizzy, Sugar Baby and Gracie, who she adored.
Loretta was passionate, loyal, dedicated, loved her family endlessly, and cherished her pets. She never met a stranger, and was loved by all that knew her. Her kindness and compassion touched the lives of many and she will be deeply missed.
