Remembrance of the Life of Dorothy Ortner CoL

Loretto Co-member Dorothy Ortner died just before midnight Aug. 4 at Loretto Living Center in Nerinx, Ky. Several Community members gathered to send her on her way. Her remains will be buried at her hometown, Holyoke, Colo., in the cemetery with her family.

Dorothy was part of Loretto for 41 years, serving as a Sister of Loretto in parochial schools until 1978. She returned to Loretto as a co-member in 2011, moving after several years to Loretto Motherhouse where she served with the Loretto Farm and Land Committee and Motherhouse Coordinating Board. With gratitude Loretto prays for Dorothy’s peace. Please keep Dorothy, her loved ones and all her family in your prayers.
