May 25, 1942 - October 25, 2018
Loretta Joan Novak, 76, of Cambria, California, passed away October 25th, 2018 after a five-year battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. Loretta was born in Los Angeles in 1942. Following graduation from Burbank High School and Northridge University, Loretta became a social service Inspector for Los Angeles County where she met and married Larry Novak in 1969.
Loretta lived in Glendale, California for over thirty years, where she raised two children and established a career in property management. Loretta pursued her passion for learning at Long Beach University and learned the Chinese language while earning a Master degree in Asian American Studies. Her research and subsequent volunteer work focused on Amerasian children of U.S. servicemen immigrating to the United States.
In 2003 she pursued her life-long passion painting and moved to Cambria, where she became involved with the plein air artist community and dedicated time to her artwork every day. Loretta was happiest when out painting with the Wednesday Irregulars or hiking through the EastWest ranch woods with her neighbors and her very large dog, Cuddles. Loretta's everlasting excitement for adventure continues on within her children Curt and Amber and grandchildren Aundrea, Kevin, Kimberly, Erek, Asher and Jacobi.
