Loverta Hufft (Lebanon) 's Obituary
Loverta Elam Hufft, daughter of Frank and Lorene Hicks Elam, was born August 18, 1934, near Lebanon, Missouri. She departed this life Saturday, September 12, 2015, in her home, in Springfield, Missouri, at the age of eighty-one years, and twenty-five days.
On July 16, 1950, she was united in marriage to Charles Henry Hufft, and to this union one daughter was born.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Charles, on August 3, 2002; and two sisters, Loretta Hall, and an infant, Freda Elam.
Loverta is survived by her daughter, Treva Lund, and her husband, Richard, of Springfield, Missouri; her mother, Lorine Elam, of Lebanon, Missouri; a brother, Freman Elam, and his wife, Connie, of Lebanon, Missouri; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and many friends.
She lived most of her early years in the Lebanon, Missouri area. After she and Charles were married, they made their home near Lebanon, until moving to Springfield, Missouri, in 1963, to follow her husband’s work. Throughout the years, Loverta was a devoted homemaker to her husband, and family.
Loverta had a strong faith in God and had developed her own personal relationship with her Lord and Savior.
In her spare time she enjoyed gardening, working on scrap books, going to flea markets and collecting lions. She loved pets, especially her cats and dogs. She was a very generous person who always put the needs of others before her own. She loved her family dearly and especially enjoyed spending time with them.
Loverta was a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her eighty-one years.
