Loretta was born May 5, 1930 the oldest child to Fred and Caroline (Heupel) Lang in New Leipzig. She attended school in New Leipzig, Elgin, and Mandan.

Together they farmed on the family homestead at St. Anthony where they raised four children, Gary (Vivian Wright), Mandan, Darlene (Gerald Rebenitsch), Ronnie (JoAnn Shelver), and Darby (Ruthie Netzer), all of St. Anthony.
Loretta was a wonderful cook and always made sure everyone had enough to eat. She was a strong willed woman with a lot of love. She kept her children and grandchildren close to her heart.
