Loretta Carr Griffin

January 4, 1935 ~ February 12, 2022

ROCKY MOUNT - Loretta Carr Griffin, age 87, passed away on Saturday, February 12, 2022. Born in Naples, NY on January 4, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Charles E. Carr and Mildred Johnson Carr. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Elton Grady Griffin; her sons, Michael Lynn Griffin and Eric Grady Griffin; her daughter, Paula Kim Griffin; and her sister, Sharon Peretti. Loretta was a devoted wife, mother, and a true homemaker. The aroma of home-cooked meals prepared by loving hands preceded cherished family time around the dinner table. Loretta's outgoing personality and clerical skills served her well in the numerous positions she held - including her position as a payroll secretary at Sampson Air Force Base in NY where she met the love of her life, "Griff". The sound of her infectious laugh could be heard throughout the halls of Edgemont Baptist Church where she served for many years. Loretta shared her faith through music as a longtime member of the church choir. Loretta is survived by her son, Kevin Mark Griffin (Debbie) of Rocky Mount; her daughter, Lori Griffin Clark of Morganton; her daughter-in-law, Myleana Griffin of Raleigh; her grandchildren, Jason Mark Griffin (Chelsea), Sarah Griffin Blake (Chad), Kevin "Daniel" Griffin, Derek Scott Ipock, and Haley Michelle Ipock; her great-grandchildren, Jay Griffin, Bradley Blake, Griffin Blake, Tyler Griffin, and Abby "Baby-Doll" Blake; her brother, Stephen Carr; her sisters, Arlene Austin and Romana Carr; and her caregiver, Dana Russell.
