After the war she became a waitress at Buck Hill Falls Inn where she worked and lived and met her soon to be husband John Rosser who also worked at the inn. Married in October 1946. After John received an opportunity of employment with Greyhound in Washington DC John and Loretta found themselves relocating, Occasionally hosting several family members they took to their new home quickly and soon enjoyed the arrival of their first child they named Kathleen. Loretta worked at several prestigious restaurants including the Ambassador Hotel as well as the Roadhouse Inn allowing her the opportunity of meeting many important people of the day. One story she very much enjoyed was her waiting on Jerry Lee Lewis who asked her “Could You Please Pass the “Woor Chester Shire Sauce Mam”. In Short order John and Loretta had a son to complete the family. The new addition required moving, soon finding a new life in Bladensburg Maryland where the family lived until 1967 when everyone returned to Turnersville NJ literally minutes from her mother, father, sisters and brother. She continued with her profession at the Hawaiian Cottage in Cherry Hill working there until the restaurant caught fire. She soon found work as a mixologist at James Place in Blackwood, a job she enjoyed for many years. Slowly the children graduated and moved on. She changed jobs to something she learned many years before becoming a seamstress working at several places in Williamstown. After many years retiring to help her husband who suffered from complications of Diabetes. Loretta and John deeply enjoyed eating and travel. No distance too far travelling to the West Coast to visit family and many points between. Loretta was extremely devoted to her church her entire life. Never missing Sunday Mass or any church occasion. In later years she was deeply involved with the Catholic Daughters and did her best at making sure anyone from the community could always count on her to provide transportation. One of her favorite possessions was a rosary brought back from the Vatican blessed by the pope. She was always a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend her entire life. Her favorite saying was “I love my family”. The world is now a lesser place with her not in it.
