Treasured great-grandmother “Ole Ma Ma” of Gabe and Mason Pummill, Connor and Ryan Bussen, Drake and Lola Ritchie. Dear sister of Betty Azar, Sharon Mitchell and the late Margie Wofford. She was a wonderful aunt and loyal friend to many.
Our sweet mom loved her family dearly including her dogs and pets, was an exceptional homemaker, enjoyed dancing, gardening and painting house interiors. She was beautiful on the inside and out, loved to make people laugh and never knew a stranger. She lived her life with a strong faith and quiet strength and dignity until she peacefully passed into Heaven in the arms of the angels. She will be sorely missed by many.

Debbie , John , Teri …… your mom was the greatest…. We all loved her n she will be deeply missed ….. my heart n prayers are with y’all … love Sheri n Noah
Offering our thoughts and prayers to all the family.
Mrs. Bumb was my second mom. Loretta always took the time to talk to me as an adult even though I was a child. She was always there for me no matter how busy she was with her 3 children. A true adult role model for me. She taught me responsible pet care with her big white dogs and cat. She will be dearly missed.
