Loretta Elaine Wanner passed away at her home in Hermiston on Jan. 25, 2026.
Loretta was born on June 8, 1947 in Pendleton to Orville Ray and Leona Jackson.
Loretta grew up in Umatilla, where she graduated high school. She married Adam “Eddie” Wanner in 1965 and they were together until his passing in 2009. They had two daughters, Tammi Stuvland and Angie Wanner.
She proudly called herself a “domestic engineer,” staying home raising her children while creating a beautiful home. She and Eddie loved doing DYI projects together. They would often visit furniture stores and see an item they liked and would go home and build it themselves. She was a “domestic engineer with an eye for design.”
Loretta was very close to her sister-in-law, Stephanie Ray, who was not only her sister-in-law and friend but also her long-time caregiver. Loretta’s family is very thankful for the care and love Stephanie provided to Loretta over the years.
She is survived by her two daughters, Tammi Stuvland (Bradley J. Stuvland) and Angie Wanner (Mathew Andronis); her brother, Ken Ray Sr.; and sister-in-law, Stephanie Ray.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Adam “Eddie” Wanner; father, Orville Ray; mother, Leona Ray; and brother, Jerry Ray.
There will be a graveside service held on Feb. 7, 2026 at 11 a.m. at the Hermiston Cemetery.
