Loretta was also an avid reader of biographies, and she liked The Beatles, especially their early albums. “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,” (a humorous Beatles’ song) was one of her favorites. Her preferred charity was the Humane Society.
Survivors include a daughter, Patricia Sartor of Hackensack, NJ, and two sons, Vincent Romano of Hollywood, FL and Peter Romano, Jr. of Lawrence, KS; a few of her brothers and sisters in New Jersey; and four grandchildren: Vanessa, Jordan, Mia, and Peter.
