Loretta R. Karr Obituary

Loretta R. ("Retta") Karr, 85, of Pennsville, NJ, was a good and faithful servant whose wish was to fall asleep and wake up walking with Jesus. Her wish was granted as she passed peacefully on April 6, 2022.


Loretta was born in Yorkville, OH, to Roger R. Lollini, Sr. and Carmella Amelia Lollini. She was the sister of Roger R. Lollini, Jr., and Orlando Lollini, and aunt of Jeri Ann Lollini and David Lollini. Loretta was preceded in death by her husband, Earl Lee Karr, Sr., and daughter, Constance Julie Underwood. She is survived by her seven remaining children, Earl (Sherry), Michael (Diana), Theresa Danner (Mark), Matthew (Flossie Kiger), Anita, Mark (Tricia), Rebecca Boucher (Charles), and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and a fierce defender of the large family she was blessed with. She always had our backs.


After retiring from Southgate Nursing Home and Marion Gardens Assisted Living, she remained a generous caretaker for many, many families, including her own, in their time of need. She lived her life motto, "Do little things with a big heart," through her work and in her daily life, never ceasing to offer whatever she could—down to her own personal possessions—to family and friends.
