In loving memory of Loretta Mary Tveitane 1943-2018

Loretta (Mayme) passed away peacefully surrounded by family on November 18, 2018. Loretta is lovingly remembered by Larry, the love of her life for over 53 years, her daughters Melissa (Trent) and Vanessa (Rod) and her beloved grandchildren Alex, Sabrina, Dulcie and Rory, as well as her brothers Wayne, Neil and Arthur and many more family and friends. Loretta was predeceased by her parents Arthur and Minnie, and her brothers William and Bernie. Born in Wadena, SK, Loretta grew up in Quill Lake. As a young woman, she spent time working in the post office in Thompson, MB. Although Larry was also in Thompson at the same time, it wasn’t until she moved to Kamloops in 1964 that she was introduced to him by his sister Sonja. Leaving the city behind, the two lovebirds, with their children in tow, moved to Louis Creek in the early 70’s. Finally, in 1990, Larry and Loretta moved back to Kamloops. Loretta loved family and travel, both taking her across Canada and the United States, as well as to Belgium, The Netherlands and France. In her later years, she loved spending winters in Yuma and summers at Adams Lake. A talented knitter, Loretta spent many hours cheering on the Canucks and Blue Jays, while also creating gifts of beautiful scarves and Icelandic sweaters for family and friends, near and far. The family would like to thank Dr. Gorman and Royal Inland Hospital, particularly the ICU, for the care they gave to Loretta. Friends and family are invited to remember Loretta on Sunday, November 25, 2018 from 2 to 5 pm at 198 Bestwick Drive. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Loretta’s name to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. http://foundation.ca/donate
