Loretta Kruger

Loretta Kruger, age 90, was born on October 1, 1936, and passed away on October 29, 2026.She was born in New York to Kathleen and John LaVigne. She moved to California in 1968. She was a resident of Chula Vista, California.

Loretta will be remembered with deep respect and lasting affection for the steady goodness she brought to those around her. Her compassion and kind heart were evident in the care she showed so naturally, and her honesty gave strength and clarity to her relationships. Patient and loyal, she stood by the people she loved with a quiet constancy, offering support not for recognition, but because it was simply who she was. Alongside her diligence and hard work, there was also a gentle humor—an ability to brighten moments and ease burdens with warmth and grace.

On March 25, 1967, Loretta married Harry. Together they built a family that remained at the center of her life: five children, many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who carry forward the imprint of her love and example. In the life they shared, Loretta’s devotion to family was matched by her readiness to give of herself—faithfully, generously, and without hesitation.

Loretta and Harry also found joy in the simple freedom of the open road. They enjoyed road trips throughout the country, with memorable travels to the mountains and deserts—journeys that reflected a spirit of appreciation for time together and the beauty of changing landscapes.

A woman of faith and community, Loretta attended St Pius X Church in Chula Vista, where she remained connected to the life of her parish. Her legacy is that of a wonderful, giving person—one whose presence made others feel seen, valued, and cared for.

Loretta will be deeply missed and gratefully remembered.
