  Loretta E. Hackman CAMPBELLTOWN Loretta Elizabeth (Stroh) Hackman, 93, passed 
  away peacefully on Monday morning, March 29, 2010, at the Columbia Cottage in 
  Campbelltown. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Raymond E. Hackman, 
  who passed away on January 6, 1997. Born in Lebanon, on January 28, 1917, she 
  was the daughter of the late Clinton and Margaret Bell Stroh. She had one older 
  brother and sister, and one younger brother and sister. After attending Baer's 
  Business School, she worked in the billing office of Hershey Foods Company 
  until marrying Raymond in 1941, after which she transitioned into being a 
  housewife. She was an avid swimmer at the Lebanon YMCA until her health 
  declined, and loved being outdoors and taking walks around the neighborhood. As 
  a music lover, she participated with the Verbena Club at Cedar Haven and 
  enjoyed many chorus group performances, as well as leading the singing. She was 
  on the local radio station WLBR, telling jokes at the age of 90 including jokes 
  about starting a new career. Loretta had three children, two daughters and one 
  son. While the children were growing up, she instilled her love of the outdoors 
  by taking them swimming in the summer or ice skating in the winter, as she was 
  a firm believer in the benefits of fresh air. During her retirement years, she 
  and her husband traveled extensively around the United States by car or bus, 
  and to many ports-ofcall, such as Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Alaska on their 
  numerous cruises. She is survived by her children, Margaret A. "Peggy" Lapp of 
  Lancaster, Elizabeth L. "Betsy" Shelly of Palmyra, wife of Dale Shelly, and 
  Robert E. Hackman of Ellicott City, Md.; along with six grandchildren; 10 
  greatgrandchildren; a sister, Mildred Allwein of Thornton, Colo.; and several 
  nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by the rest of her siblings, as well as 
  one grandchild, Michael Shelly. A Mass of Christian burial will be held Monday, 
  April 5 at 2 p.m. at the Church of the Holy Spirit, 245 W. Pine St., Palmyra, 
  PA 17078. A visitation for friends and family will be from 1 to 2 p.m. before 
  the beginning of the Mass. Interment at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Lebanon will 
  occur immediately thereafter. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be 
  made to the Church of the Holy Spirit Building Fund.
