She was thoroughly passionate for all aspects of cattle ranching and of the great outdoors. She enjoyed video documenting and commentating her day to day on the ranch with her phone. “Over the hills, through the paths and all hours of any given day, cattle meant the world to Loria,” fondly recalls her husband, “her dedication and nurturing spirit towards cattle was boundless.” Loria was fondly considered a "Jill-of-all-trades". She also liked to read, cook, garden, watch the TV show, "The Big Bang Theory" and the humor of Abbott and Costello. She took great care of her home, canned food and was a talented artist. She drew with pencil, charcoal and wrote calligraphy.
