Loretta E. Telecky, 99 of Solon, died Monday, August 15, 2011 at Hallmark Care Center. Funeral Services will be held at 10 a.m., Friday, August 19, 2011 at Brosh Chapel-Solon. Visitation will be from 4-7 p.m. Thursday at Brosh Chapel-Solon. Burial will follow at Rogers Grove Cemetery, near Ely. Loretta was born November 5, 1911 in Crandon, WI; Loretta married John S. Telecky May 31, 1930, at Crandon. They lived much of their married life in the West where John taught school. In 1952, they moved to Salt Lake City, UT, where John became head of the Department of Education, at Westminster College. While there, Loretta resumed nurses training that she began prior to their marriage, and worked in a local Salt Lake City hospital for a number of years. After retiring in 1970, they moved to Fallon, Nevada and later back to Crandon. After her husbands' death in 1989, Loretta eventually moved to Walden Place in Iowa City to be closer to her son and wife who live in Solon. The enjoyment of her latter years was being close enough to be involved in the numerous family get-togethers, with all the grandchildren and great grandchildren. After living at Walden Place for 16 years, various health issues initiated the move to Hallmark Care Center. Loretta is survived by her son James and wife Bess of Solon, four granddaughters, Vicki (Sterling) Young of Clear Lake, Becky (Gary) Wilcox of Marion, Debbie (Dave) Blythe of rural Mt. Vernon, and Terry (Bruce) Squires of Mechanicsville. Loretta also enjoyed her nine great-grandchildren - Nicole (Brett) Eidahl, Brandon and Travis Young, Ben (Katie) Wilcox, Kristen (Justin) Carpenter, Jennifer (Brian) Mertes, Erin (Seth) Schaller, Brooke (Nathon) Logue, and Dustin Smith. In addition, Loretta was so proud to still be around for the start of the fifth generation, upon the arrival of her great-great grandchildren, Isabelle and Ryker Logue, Blake and Norah Eidahl, and Spencer Carpenter. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband John, a sister Edith Tracy and twin brothers George and John Lambert.
