After the death of her Father, when she was 8 years old, her Mother, Brother (Carleton Edward Wood Jr.) and Loretta moved to the San Fernando Valley. Her Mother bought a piece of property on Sepulveda Blvd. and soon started a business of Ceramics Mfg.
Loretta attended Van Nuys High School. She became a Flight Attendant for United Airlines and worked as a Steward until she married and had to retire, as was the rule at that time. She joined the group called Clipped Wings referring to not being able to fly any longer.

She became Mother to David Lee Krier, Linda Sue Aproian and Deborah Marita Waters. As the family grew, she became Grandmother to William Brown, Michele Oge, Dawn Patrikian, Daniel Waters, Marissa Krier and Joseph Parker. They blessed her with Great Grandchildren; Christine, Allyson, Elyzabeth and Vivianne Patrikian. Kyle L’Heureux, Natalie, Kameron, Knighten and Julie Parker. Krystal and Tyler Waters.

The passing of our Mother/Grandmother/Great Grandmother is devastating to the family, but her love will be in our hearts forever. We are forever grateful to have had the privilege of having her in all our lives.
