Loretta traveled all over the western states. She lived in Oregon and worked as an In-Home Provider. She also worked at the Indian Health Service Hospital for a while. She enjoyed being able to help the people.
Loretta had the biggest heart. She always made sure that everyone around her was taken care of. She made sure that everyone who came into her home left with a full belly and a jacket on their back. She was an awesome “Grandma Letta” to her grandchildren, Bethanie and Wicahpi. She always showed them love and affection. Loretta was the caretaker of her family and friends, especially when they needed her most.
