Loretta grew up in Holland, attending Holland Christian and Hope College, before earning her nursing degree at Presbyterian College in Chicago. Moving to Traverse City to make their home in 1947, she and Allen raised their two sons. She was a devoted wife, caring mother and a good friend to many. Loretta enjoyed spending summers at Marion Island and at the beach with her grandchildren. She worked at Munson Medical Care Facility and taught nursing at Northwestern Michigan College for over 20 years. The impact she had on her students was inspirational, and she continued to receive accolades over the years.
