Loretta was born October 3, 1933 in Follett, Texas. She married Edward Halpain on August 6, 1950 in Perryton, Texas. Their marriage was blessed with 2 children, Edward Jr (Sonny) and Vickie.

Loretta was famous for her beautiful flowers, especially the roses.  She loved gardening. She often had crocheted and knitted projects going that were beautiful and challenging. She was also an avid reader. Her favorite hobby was dancing. She and Edward said they danced their way across the Texas Panhandle.

Loretta also worked for the police department when Sonny and Vickie were in school.  She really enjoyed her employment there.

Later, Edward opened his own garage and Loretta did all the bookkeeping for the family business.

She was always there to take care of her family and her home was the hub for family gatherings.   She taught herself to cook when she and Edward got married and the family always looked for her specialty German meals.

What really made Loretta special was her sense of humor and her smile always lit up the room.  She loved life and she made the best of it no matter what the circumstances were.

She is survived by her husband of 72 years, Edward; her son, Sonny Halpain of Perryton, Tx; daughter,  Vickie Kennedy (Richard) of Buhler, Ks;  grandchildren: Erik Halpain (Mary) of McLean, Tx,  Lance Halpain (Mandy) of Mineral Wells, Tx,  Michele Clark (Tony) of Hays, Ks, John Kennedy (Jennifer) of Hutchinson, Ks, Michael Kennedy (Shannon) of Lenexa, Ks; many great-grandchildren Blake Halpain of Anson, Tx,  Crystal Brady of Roff, Ok, Paige Halpain of Seminole, Ok, Lee Halpain of McLean, Tx, Destiny Halpain of Mineral Wells, Tx, Dakota Halpain of Raleigh, NC, Nicole Golden of Mineral Wells, Tx, Ashley Hood of Great Bend, Ks, Dakota Hood of Fayetteville, Ar, Averie, Conner, and Cade Kennedy of Hutchinson, Ks; and several great-great-grandchildren.
