Loretta (Cole) Keith
Loretta (Cole) Keith, 86, El Dorado Springs, was born Sept. 12, 1920, in Cedar County, the daughter of Leslie and Ivy Cahill Cole. She passed away Thursday evening, Feb. 22, 2007, at Research Medical Center, Kansas City.
Loretta was a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. She never said a cross word about anyone or anything. She lived a long and wonderful life for 86 years and taught her children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren a lot about life and working to make an honest living. She loved everyone and everything, no matter what trials and tribulations may have befallen her.
Loretta had loving friends who could and would help her when family wasn't close enough to help. But through it all, she never stopped fighting. Loretta fought to the very end. She was a tough woman. Of that, her family and friends were all proud to know.
Loretta left this world peacefully and without shame for anything she ever did. That takes more than heart. She would take you in, feed you and help in any way she could without reservations. She raised everyone in her family at some point - kids, grandkids, great-grandkids and nephews.
Loretta was a lady of honor and devotion. She extended that to everyone, not just family. You cannot go into a store without someone who knew her who tells you how sweet and loving her heart really was without trying.
Loretta will be missed and loved by all. She left an impression on the hearts and souls of everyone she touched. Don't remember her for the way she is, but for the way she was. She would want everyone to carry on and pass on to the children and grandchildren the way she lived and loved a carefree life.
Preceding Loretta in death were her husband, Ray, and sons, Donald and Harrison.
Survivors include her sisters, Leota and Ada; brother, Eddie; her son, Gary; granddaughter, Belinda, and husband, Larry, and their three children - Jade, Tandra and J.R.; her granddaughter, Tammy, and husband, Roy, and their four children - Whittney, Brittney, Trevor and Harley; and grandsons, Kevin and William Wade.
