Loretta Ainsworth March 1, 1961 - January 27, 2008

Loretta Ainsworth, a founding partner of United Portrait Studios, passed away Sunday, January 27, 2008.  Loretta will live forever in the hearts of her husband, Terry, her mother, Ethel, her sister, Lois, her brothers Larry and David, and her countless friends.  There isn't space to tell all there is to tell about this most amazing woman - she left us way too soon, and though she is sorely missed, all who knew her count themselves blessed to have had that honor. Notes from Loretta Ainsworth's Memorial Service - Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - "For the past year and half each of you have seen this powerful woman struggle against a relentless foe.  You may think that she lost that battle.  Loretta could never accept defeat - never, never, never.  I invite you to consider another possibility.  At 7:31, Sunday morning, Loretta didn't lose - God whispered in her ear, ' It is over, my child.  You win and you don't have to fight anymore.  It is done.'  Then God and Loretta went home."  Goodbye my friend.

Loretta was one of a kind. I had the priveledge of knowing and working with Loretta and Ethel. Ethel should write a book of her life experiences. Very few women are dedicated to being the mother that Ethel is. Her one goal in life is to see that her children were cared for, they are her number one priority Very few are as dedicated to their family as she is. I am very honored in knowing that Ethel is my friend, Loretta was also. Loretta was so spontaneous and loved life. She lived it to the fullest. May she rest in peace.
