Obituary, Visitation & Funeral Information

The glue that kept the family together, Loretta A. "Loree" Luppino, 73, of Washington Township, passed away Monday July 23, 2018. She was born May 10, 1945 in Lincoln Park, Michigan to Jolan E. (Schneider) and Steve J. Kertesz.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Ted Kertesz.

Loree is survived by her loving family, husband of 51 years, Robert "Bob", two daughters, Jolan Kocsis (Bruce Jr.) of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and Melissa Hoban (Jim Jr.) of Springboro; six grandchildren, Bruce III, Alyssa (Matt), Clay, Conor, Lauren, and Cailin; two great-grandchildren, Bryce and Cole.

Loree loved shopping and jewelry, and enjoyed working at Helzburg Diamonds before retiring. She was a member at St. Francis of Assisi and an active listener of WFCJ Radio. She also enjoyed watching the birds and butterflies while drinking coffee from her patio and talking with her husband about life. Her greatest joy was spending time and "sharing her wisdom and life lessons" with her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.
