Loretta Theresa Jurowski-Engel – March 12, 1927 – July 11, 2005 Loretta Engel was the daughter of a Polish immigrant and first generation American, born in Lorain, Ohio. Studying to become a nurse, her life path was interrupted when her health interfered. Wanting to begin the next chapter of her life, she jumped at the opportunity to marry Louie Engel. Still longing to be creative, she searched for the perfect outlet for her story. After trying many things, including sales, she found the opportunity to educate the future as an early childhood teacher. Having such an influence over these pre-school children was a source of great pride. Fortunately, Loretta and Louie were blessed with four children of their own. It was at this time the dream of writing a novel began to grow. Putting the children to bed gave her the opportunity to cultivate her creative story telling.
