Our dear Loretta passed away in Coconut Creek, Florida on September 14, 2019 at the age of 97. Originally from Islip, Long Island, she enjoyed a long wonderful life filled with family, fun and travel. Visions of her constant smile and light hearted laughter will stay in our hearts forever. She was lovingly known to her family as Gigi. She will be sorely missed by her family and the many friends who were so easily drawn to her.
She was predeceased by her parents, Harry & Laura Vogt, her two sisters, Betty and Honey, and by the love of her life, Walter Goeben, whom she married on Long Island on September 12, 1943. Walter was by her side for 39 wonderful years.
She is survived by her two daughters, Betty Lou Webb (Jim) and Joyce Hoelzer (Robert); 5 grandchildren, George Simmons (Cheryl), Deanna Whoriskey (Jon), Christopher Simmons (Kym), Heidi Snyder (Erik) and Robert Hoelzer (Timmi); and 11 great grandchildren Brooke, Brianna, & Paige Snyder; Tricia Johnson (Brad); Tyler & Takoda Hoelzer; Christopher Simmons Jr; Shawn & Rebecca Whoriskey; and Jessica Luckman & Haley Simmons plus many nieces & nephews.
