Loretta Ellen Lacek's Obituary
On Monday, January 23rd, Loretta (Maxwell) Lacek, beloved mother and friend passed away. She was sixty-eight. Loretta was best known for her quick-witted humor, fierce determination, and generous spirit toward anyone she met. She loved vehicles of all kinds and was happiest when she was on or near the water. Born to C.B. and Wilma Maxwell, Loretta managed the family trucking business, Hulk Heavy Hauling. C.B. taught Loretta how to drive anything on two or more wheels and she was well known in the transportation industry. Loretta brought the company to new heights.
She is survived by her only son, Adam Lacek of Umatilla, his wife Kriztina (Tokics) and her grandsons Brantley (5) and Abel (2), ex-husband Paul Lacek, stepdaughters Tracey (Lacek) and husband Eric Hegerle, granddaughter Kayleigh and grandson Tom Hegerle, and Shannon Lacek and husband Todd (Chopper) Stepe.
