All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ========================================================================== Duncan Banner 29 Nov 2002 Loretta Jean Null Rice COMANCHE — On Nov. 27, 2002, our hearts were broken when God called for Loretta Jean Rice. She was a woman that gave her family and friends unconditional love. She had a heart of a lion, a soul of an angel and the patience of a saint. We love her, and will miss her desperately. Our memories of her will be the gifts she will continue to give us. Those who had the honor of spending time with her, crying and laughing with her, understand what a special gift she was, and we are so much better for knowing her. She was our wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and sister, but most of all she was our friend. Loretta Jean Null was born Dec. 31, 1943, in Comanche, to Wadie Lee and Edna Robison Null. She passed from this life at her home in Comanche, Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2002, at the age of 58. Loretta was a listened beautician, caregiver, preschool teacher’s assistant and homemaker. She was a member of "Ladies for Christ" and a dedicated volunteer to Praise Assembly of God Church in Comanche. She and Leslie Rice were united in marriage on Dec. 21, 1962, in Comanche. Survivors include her husband of the home; five sons and four daughters- in-law, Ricky and Brenda Rice of Duncan, Greg and Kristi Rice of Marlow, Randy and Kandice Rice of Comanche, Michael and Tina Rice of Duncan, and Ray Rice of Edmond; a daughter, Darla Jean Rice of Camarillo, Calif.; three brothers, H.L. Null, "Doc" Milton Lee Null and Charles Null, all of Fort Worth, Texas; two sisters, Wanda Woodard and Charlene Kollasch, both of Comanche. Her grandchildren were her gifts from God; she loved them to distraction. Some of the most precious moments in her life were the times she spent with her grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her granddaughter, Bridget. She is survived by six grandchildren, Erica, Kyle, Chance, Lindsay, Hunter and Hadlee. A celebration of Loretta’s life will be 3:45 p.m. Saturday in Praise Assembly of God Church in Comanche. Visitation will be from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. today, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Dudley Funeral Home in Comanche. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Stephens County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/stephens/stephens.htm
