Loretta Henry, 59, of Nevada City passed away suddenly on August 10, 2024.

Loretta was born on December 27, 1964 in Marysville California to Hester and James Levally. She moved to Nevada City as a young child.

In 6th grade Loretta met her best friend Chuck and fell in love. She went on to marry Chuck on July 16, 1983. Their 41 year love story resulted in 5 children and 9
grandchildren.

Loretta lived a true life of service to her family, church and community. She made the most beautiful blankets for her loved ones. She loved Fort Bragg, horses, painting, cooking, being a wife, mom and grandma. When she sang “The Lord Bless and Keep You” the angles in heaven would smile.

Loretta’s laugh could light up a room, her hugs could fix just about anything, and her faith was demonstrated through her daily acts of kindness and generosity.

Loretta loved to love. She was beautiful.

Loretta’s life will be celebrated at 11a.m. on September 21, 2024 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – Grass Valley Ward on Hollow Way.
