Loretta Mae Hooper

Loretta Hooper, a cherished member of the Boswell and Hugo communities, peacefully passed away on April 18, 2024, at the age of 73. Born on May 1, 1950, in Boswell, Okla., to loving parents Joe and Mary Virginia (Byas) Pierce, Loretta’s life was a tapestry of love, family and dedication.

Loretta was a beacon of joy to her family and all who knew her. She is survived by her two devoted daughters: Stephanie Blagg of Hugo and Rebecca Shehan of Fort Towson, Okla., who will carry on her legacy of kindness and warmth. Her life was further enriched by the laughter and love of her five grandchildren. The twinkling eyes of her great-grandchildren brought her immense happiness. She also leaves behind her dear sisters: Nancy Amend of Powderly, Texas, and Cindy Richardson of Denison, Texas.

Loretta’s passion for life was evident in everything she engaged in, from the meticulous stitches of her crochet projects to the vibrant blooms in her garden. Fancy, her beloved dog, was a constant companion and source of joy. Her work ethic and community involvement were evident to all who knew her, and her presence will be deeply missed.

Final arrangements are under the caring guidance of Prater-Lampton-Mills & Coffey Funeral Home. As we bid farewell to Loretta Hooper, we celebrate a life well-lived, filled with love, creativity and devotion to family. Her memory will forever blossom in the hearts of those she touched.
