She married Donald Eugene Hogg in 1959 at the First United Methodist Church in Zenda, KS. Loretta, raised on a farm, loved “playing in the dirt” and growing her own vegetables. She enjoyed putting together and tending her flower beds. Once she was unable to continue that hobby due to her health, Loretta started painting. The process of creating captured her imagination and she loved sharing her creations with her family. After retirement, Don and Loretta were able to renew their love of travel by visiting family, designing new routes and stops along the way for each trip. Serving with and learning with her Double Ring Sunday School class was a mainstay through much of her adult life, and then after retirement, she added the service of quilting with a group at First United Methodist Church in Wichita, KS.
