She was born as Loretta Ann Westfall. She began life on Sept. 5, 1954, in Canton, Ohio. Her mother, Juanita Champ, had recently married into the Westfall family. Soon after a baby sister followed and was named Mary Jo Westfall.
Tragically, at this same period of her life they lost their father to a motorcycle accident. Her mother found life very difficult and the girls found themselves living with their uncle and aunt in Taylor, Michigan.
As she grew up, she began to be a somewhat rebellious child. At the age of 16 she left home, quit school, and struck out on her own living on the streets. She was befriended by a young couple, who took her in and provided some guidance. She then found herself working in and around the bar industry.
