She was born on August 18, 1920, in Kaukauna, daughter of the late Michael and Nellie (Van Camp) Wittman. Loretta was united in marriage to Wilmer "Bill" Arnold on May 3, 1941, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Appleton. After living in Appleton for a short while, they decided to purchase a farm in the Town of Center in April of 1942. Bill preceded her in death in September of 1967. She worked at Peerless Laundry for 28 years, retiring in August of 1985. Loretta was proud to stay on the farm until November 5, 2014, when The Bridges of Appleton became her new home.
Loretta was a devoted mother and wonderful cook. She has taught her family the true meaning of life's celebration with many of her own home cooked meals made with love throughout her years. She enjoyed her flowers, gardening, crocheting, embroidering, dancing and listening to Danny O'Donnell, and going on hundreds of mystery trips with the late Elaine Kurey and Phyllis Brown with Have Group Will Travel. She also enjoyed playing sheepshead with her family and rarely missed a Saturday night with Lawrence Welk.

She is further survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins.
