Loretta passed away on Thursday, January 4, 2018 at 5:59 p.m. at Pointe Coupee Healthcare in New Roads at the age of 84. Loretta was born in Plaquemine on June 4, 1933 and moved to New Roads when she was 6 months old to Stone Wall Plantation A. Wilbert and Sons.
Loretta graduated from Poydras High School and two days later went to work for BellSouth. On Dec. 7, 1952 she married Lester Fabre. She left the phone company after one year to raise her family. When her children went to school, she went back to work. She worked at Bob’s Western Store for 16 years, then LaCoste Construction Company, then Wal-Mart. She left Wal-Mart due to Lester’s illness but in 2004 after her husband passed away, she again joined the workforce, at Bergeron’s Boudin and Cajun Meats. From there Loretta retired to rest and read. She remained active at The Veteran’s Home in Jackson even after her husband’s death. In 2009, Loretta was honored to be Marshall of the Port Allen Veteran’s Day Parade, and she was the only person that was not a Veteran to have such an honor.
