Henderson, 
Nev., and 
formerly of 
Farmington Hills, died 
March 25, 2021.
Loretta had a love for life 
which became apparent to 
everyone that met and knew 
her. Everyone instantly 
fell in love with Loretta’s 
kind heart and empathy for 
people and animals. She 
was incredibly perceptive 
and intelligent, honing that
