Two weeks after graduation, Loretta married Eugene Tindal. She worked with the phone company from the time she was 17, off and on for 20 years.
During that time, she had three children: Cindy (a mail carrier in the Foley), David and Darryl.
Loretta had a sister in New Orleans, so she moved there after the divorce from Eugene, and obtained a job with a meat packing company.
She has endured many medical problems; Hodgkins Disease, Cancer, ten months of chemo treatment, spleen removal, four stomach operations, shingles (head to foot), and heart problems that can�t be fixed. She has had so many blood clots that they put two filters in her arteries to help avoid a clot going to the brain (stroke). She has been near death four times.
She became disabled about 1989. That year, she married Howard Goforth. Between the two, they have six children and ten grandchildren.
Loretta�s sister is now in Milton, so she travels to Milton and the Foley area for visits.
