Loretta Lagle, age 73, of Flora, Illinois, formerly of Wayne County, passed away on Saturday, December 5, 2015.

   Loretta was born May 3, 1942, in Wayne County, to Noble Henry and Bertha (Mitchell) Carter.  She married Galen Hosselton in May of 1965.  He preceded her in death in December of 1989.  She later married James Lagle in September of 1992.

   Loretta was an Alan Jackson fan and loved to watch the Saint Louis Cardinals baseball games.  Being a mother and grandmother was her greatest joy, as family meant everything to her.  She was a wonderful cook, and many holiday meals were enjoyed at her home.  Loretta was far more than a mother and grandmother; she was a best friend.  No matter what the problem, she always made sure she was there for you, with understanding and unconditional love.

Hosselton, Charles Carter, Lorraine Wilkerson, and Joe Carter; sister-in-law: Shirley Hosselton; brother-in-law: Carol (Nancy) Lagle, and nephew Larry Carter.
