Many years after the loss of her husband, Robert, Loretta began attending various social clubs. At one of these, Loretta was fortunate to meet Howard Greengard, a loving and devoted companion. They spent many happy years together going dancing and attending social clubs. Loretta was a homemaker, worked for Bensenville School District 2 and FastHeat Element in Elmhurst. She was a member of the Bensenville Homemakers, volunteered with Helping Hands, and was a member at Faith Community UCC.
Loretta enjoyed collecting vintage jewelry along with anything that struck her fancy. She was always a fan of old movies and could tell you the year the movie was made and the movie stars. Loretta was also very interested in Depression Glass, was a member of the 20-30-40’s Society for many years and has an impressive collection of Depression Glass.
