Parsons, Loretta
(née Bradley)
passed away from pancreatic cancer at the Ottawa General Hospital on January 18th, 2009 at the young age of 61. She left this world too soon and will be missed by all who knew her. Loretta created beauty in the world around her. She loved and nurtured people, plants and animals. Strangers felt welcome in her home. Sick animals were tenderly nursed back to health. Magnificent blooms abounded in her garden. She enjoyed traveling to many areas of the world, as well as a good meal, and was interested in current events, live music, film, and her always present CBC radio! She was one of the smartest and most practical people you would ever meet. Loretta highly valued education and learning and was engaged in the world until the end. Loretta lived her life in fast forward. Born in Mary’s Harbour, Labrador on December 10, 1947, she grew up in Indian Cove. She left home at the tender age of 15 to pursue higher education, and was the first in her family to go on to post-secondary education. While at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, she met and fell in love with Scott at the age of 19. They were married in May 1968 and began their family soon after. Loretta balanced motherhood and family life with a successful career as teacher, librarian, manager with Information Canada, and technical publications editor with the RCMP, from which she retired in 1998. In her retirement, she enjoyed further travel, and time at home with her pets, garden and family. Loretta lived life fully until the end. She faced her difficult illness with considerable strength and courage, maintaining her independent spirit against all odds. She was described as stoic by many. Loretta will be sorely missed and forever remembered, cherished and loved by husband Scott, daughters Karen and Kim, son Jason (engaged to Vanessa), and her siblings Larry, Shirley, David and Kirby, as well as her nieces and nephews. She was the best person we have ever known. She was predeceased by her father Donald, mother Violet and brother Terry.
