The Bakersfield Californian 
Edde, Loretta Ann     
1933 - 2005 
 
Loretta Ann Edde 
Formerly Loretta Ann Denney 
Nov. 23, 1933 - Sept. 15, 2005 

A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 8, 2005, at 11:00 a.m., at 
Kern River Family Mortuary on North Chester Ave., in Bakersfield, California. 
Loretta was an only child, born to Birchard and Miriam Cox on November 23, 
1933. As a young girl, she was full of life and was the delight of her family 
and friends. She shared a love of the outdoors with her parents and spent many 
hours fishing with her father. Married at an early age, Loretta was not able 
to graduate from high school as scheduled. She quickly gave birth to four 
children, but after the fourth was born, she returned to night school and 
earned her high school diploma. During that time of her life, her hobbies 
included bowling, crocheting, sewing, and reading. She was a lover of music, 
old movies, animals, and crossword puzzles; but she was always a child at 
heart and also enjoyed Garfield, Snoopy, and Panda bears. Education was 
important to her and after raising her four children, she returned to school 
and earned her college diploma. Loretta worked for the Kern County 
Superintendent of Schools as a computer operator and programmer, and retired 
in 1990 after 20 years of service. She was able to live out her final years 
where she had always wanted to in the country surrounded by nature. She grew 
fruit trees and roses and enjoyed the beauty and sounds of the country. She 
found a little dog and nursed him back to health, then named him Tootsie. He 
was her constant companion. Loretta is survived by her four children and their 
spouses, Birchard Denney, Leonard and Jackie Denney, Charles and Diane 
Jackson, and John B. and Norma Denney. She loved her five grandchildren, Erika 
Denney, Brian (and wife, Heidi) Denney, April Denney, Richard Breeze-Jackson, 
and Spencer Denney, and in the last months of her life was so pleased to spend 
time with her dear great-grandchildren, Kaitlyn and Makenna Denney and Tyler 
Kueneman. Tootsie has been adopted by Kaitlyn and Makenna. Loretta would have 
liked that! In lieu of flowers, please make donations in her honor to the 
Order of Eastern Star, or the Shriners Hospital for Children in Los Angeles.
