Loretta A. Schoppe, age 90, longtime resident of Bensenville, formerly of Leyden Township, passed away peacefully August 9, 2022. Beloved wife of the late Robert Schoppe (1999). Loving mother of Scott Schoppe and Cheryl (Rick) Medina. Fond Grandmother to Richard and Erin Medina. Dear daughter of the late Charles and Anna. Dear sister of the late Walter.

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.
