Surviving her are her brother, Roger Hess; sister, Alice Shearer; daughter, Diana Lucas; sons, Kevin Hess of Virginia; Danny and Duane Lucas both of Charleston; six grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and a special great-grandson, Dalton, who was always there to help his Maw Maw.

Loretta retired from BB&T, she later became a caregiver for the elderly and that was her passion. She loved her family and her cats, Blackie, Fidget and Momma Kitty. She enjoyed feeding the birds and deer daily and her favorite pastime was going to thrift stores and yard sales.
