Loretta Johnson Laurore

It is with much sadness that the Laurore, Johnson and Urey families announce the home going of Loretta Johnson Laurore (affectionately called Teta, Aunty Teta, and Cousin Teta), wife and lifetime partner of Archbishop Joel Laurore. She was surrounded at the time of death by her family members and church family.  Loretta was peacefully called home on Saturday, September 9th 2017 at her home in Bixby, Oklahoma. She was a loving, devoted and faithful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunty.  Loretta was a faithful servant of the Lord, a great mentor for many women in the United States and Liberia, and a dear and beloved relative and friend. Although we mourn her passing, we celebrate and praise God for the abundant and victorious life that she lived.

She is survived by her husband, Archbishop Joel Laurore, her children, Christine Domond (Will), Michaelle Holbird (Greg), Jorette Gilkes (James), Immanuella Senatus (Jeanaude), grandchildren, Valencia Laurore, Grahmia Graham, Joely Graham, Yshua Gilkes, Joel-Michael Fontus, Ezriel Graham, Gabrielle-Nissi Fontus, Zion Gilkes, Jisselle Senatus, Jeanaude Senatus Jr, Majesty Gilkes, Zylirah Senatus , her sisters, Vera Walker, Mercy Bates (Eddie) and Edrina Denard, brothers, Stanton B.
