Loretta France

 Loretta Alfreda (nee Sliner), the loving wife of Kevin France died peacefully on February 2nd, 2022. She was a lifelong resident of the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia.  She was 59 years old.  Born December 26th, 1962, she was the devoted daughter of the late Edward and Alfreda (nee Dziengielewska) Sliner. She was the baby sister of Constance (Robert) O’Neill, Michael (Kathleen) Sliner, Philip (Maryellen) Sliner, John (Nancy) Sliner, and Barbara Sliner (the late Walter Wojczyszyn).

Married for 38 years to the love of her life, family life was her most happy accomplishment. She was the cherished mother of Alexander France and Heather (Andrew) Croul.  Most loved Babci to Ariana Russell, Marcus and Liliana Croul. Favorite Aunt to many nieces and nephews, and a loving friend to everyone.  Loretta loved her family most of all, especially her grandbabies, who were the most precious gift in the world to her.

Loretta will be remembered as one who loved fiercely and was always quick to give a big hug and to ask how you and those you loved were doing. She loved camping, traveling, and celebrating with family and friends. She loved the color blue and turtles and large iced teas with lots of ice. And without a doubt, she loved YOU.
