She is survived by her three children, Arthur (Robin) of Grand Bay, Debbie of Lincoln, and Jackie (Cindy) of Lincoln. She was a wonderful grandmother to eight grandchildren Chris, Corey, Jessica, Shawna, Kelly, Erin, Sarah, and Ryan. She was also a great grandma to six and a half great grandchildren Skye, Connor, Rachael, Bryson, Wesley, Jax, and baby ? Mom was predeceased by her husband Jack Naish, partner George Coleman, and brother Diggy. Loretta was employed at CFB Gagetown for over 35 years and retired as an auditor. She also worked at Reitmans, The Bowling Alley, The Book Nook, and The Curling Club. Wherever there was a function Mom was there. She loved the Legion, was on the Ladies Auxilliary and LOOK OUT! when the poppy campaign started because she was on full force. She could also play a mean games of cards. She was the treasurer of the Oromocto Navy League, Vice President and Secretary of the Union at Base Gagetown, a member of the Fredericton Canadians Booster Club, and a Pioneer Kate in Pioneer Days. Mom loved her sports and Don Cherry. She played hockey, baseball, and her passion was bowling. Mom was always willing to lend a hand and would count the donations to the last cent. The family would like to thank all the staff at the Oromocto Public Hospital for their wonderful care. You were amazing.
