Loretta Marie Borchetta on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. Loving wife of the late Lawrence “Larry” Borchetta. Dear sister of the late Louis Bleile and Robert Bleile; dear sister-in-law of Mary Ann Bleile, Ferdinando Borchetta, Michael Borchetta and George Borchetta. Loving aunt, great-aunt, and good friend to many. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Services: Visitation on Wednesday, January 15 at Queen of all Saints Catholic Church (6603 Christopher Drive) from 10:30 AM until mass at 11:30 AM. Interment at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Service of Kutis South County Chapel.
Loretta was a good friend that helped me on my spiritual journey. We met at Queen of All Saints classes they used to have. We started talking because I was wearing a Bishop DuBourg sweatshirt, which she had also attended. She taught me to make food for the priests and to help others any way I could. She was always giving, humble and never would ask for help even when she needed it. Our favorite times were attending mass and discussing religious articles. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, by the mercy and grace of God, rest in peace and may Perpetual light shine upon them.
Loretta was such a kind, sweet, soft-spoken lady very much devoted to her faith. She loved praying the Rosary and learning more about her faith and the saints. Loretta also loved to travel. She made two pilgrimages with me to Garabandal, Spain, in 2013 and 2016. In addition to Garabandal we enjoyed side trips to Zaragoza, Loyola, Limpias, and Lourdes, France. During my tenure as DRE of Adult Faith at Queen of All Saints Loretta would often visit after morning Mass and always came bearing some gift be it a holy card, cookies, or biscotti for Deacon Joe. She was always a participant in various book studies and group discussions.
No longer missing her dear husband, may she rest in peace.
Dear Loretta was always concerned about others. We were neighbors, church friends, and members of religious organizations together. Loretta was so very giving and kind. She was always bringing food, treats, religious articles to share. She even helped me babysit my grandchildren. Never one to ask for help for herself. Loretta had been a nurse and once insisted on staying with me until she determined it was safe to leave me alone, as I had an allergic reaction that concerned her. What a sweet lady! Enjoy your new forever life, Loretta. You deserve your heavenly reward!
