She was born in Cornerbrook, Nfld and moved to Ontario in 1972 with family. She worked hard and raised her son Chris. Loretta relocated to Manitoba for work, where she met Fred Eshpeter. After their marriage, she gained a loving family that included 4 wonderful stepdaughters.

She shared a love of motorcycles with her husband as well as animals and music. Family was important to Loretta, and she took great pleasure in hosting family Christmas every year. One of the grandchildren's fondest memories was of Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma Loretta's.

She is survived by her husband of 32 years, Fred; son Chris (Tracy) Cunning; stepdaughters Heather (Murray) Patterson, Debbie Eshpeter, Wendi (Brent) Rice, Kathy (Dean) Bandola; grandchildren and great grandchildren.
