Obituary

Born August 20, 1926 in Chicago, IL, Loretta was called to her heavenly home on September 23, 2018 in Shawano, WI.

Loretta, a drum majorette, graduated St. Florian High School at the age of seventeen. Always a talented pianist and singer and too young to enter a night club, Loretta would "sneak" out of her family home to sing with a prominent big band orchestra.

During the WWII era, Loretta attended the Chicago School of Business where she won first place in the Illinois State typing competition. Later, she was employed at Lever Brothers and took second place as the "War Bond Queen." A jack of all trades, Loretta was also employed as an administrative secretarial assistant, bus driver and owned her own flower shop in Orland Park, IL.

In 1949, Loretta met and later married Robert L. Price Sr. Raising four children in Palos Park, Il, they were married from 1950 – 1993. During this time, Loretta was a devoted member of St. Michael's Parish and was very active in the choir, altar guild and rosary society.

Upon retiring, Loretta moved to Shawano in 1992. In Shawano, she spent her remaining years doting on her family and planning every party event with her impeccable taste and panache.

Singer, dancer, jitterbug winner, and Bingo Momma, Loretta loved travel, old fashioneds and her family.

She is survived by: children, Robert (Sue Foster) Price Jr. of Cape Coral, FL, Deborah (Steve) Borroughs of Shawano, WI, Cindy Lou LiVigni of Shawano, WI and Ronald Price of Chicago, IL. She is further survived by thirteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren with another on the way.

Her parents, Lawrence and Anastazia and three brothers, Walter (Cecilia) Janeczko, Casmier (Cecilia) Janeczko and Edward (Stephanie) Janeczko preceded her in death.
