Obituary

Loretta Armstrong, 63, of Reading, formerly of Denver, died Sunday, August 30, 2020, after a brief battle with cancer, at WellSpan Ephrata Community Hospital.
Born in Philadelphia, she was a daughter of the late Frederick and Mary (Garman) Laich. Her husband, Frederick Armstrong, died December 11, 2010.
Loretta has worked as a receptionist and dealer trades manager at New Holland Auto since July 2011.
She was a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church. Her greatest joy in life was her children and grandchildren. She will always be remembered for her contagious smile, her love of dancing, and the way she cared so selflessly for those around her.

Preceding her in death are two brothers, Richard and Gerard Laich.
A memorial mass will be held at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 150 Water St., New Holland, on Saturday, September 19 at 11 am with Fr. Stephen W. Fauser officiating. The family will receive friends at the church from 9:30 – 11 am. In lieu of flowers contributions in Loretta's memory may be made to the American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org.

Lotetta was a neighbor and a friend since our days at Our Lady of Grace Elementary School, where we were playmates in school and after school. I remember her fondly. She was kind to everyone, reflecting her strong life-long Catholic faith. I am sorry to learn of her passing. RIP, my friend.
