Loretta M. (Eaton) Oliveira, 91, of Warwick, passed away peacefully at Brentwood Rehab, on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. She was the loving wife of the late Manuel Olivera. They were married for 49 years.
Born in Oakland Beach, she was the daughter of the late John and Alice W. (Randall) Eaton. Loretta was a graduate of Warwick Veterans High School, class of 1951. She immediately started her career with New England Telephone. Took time off, in between, to raise her family. Then, ultimately retired, from NE Tel, in 1989. She also worked at Head Start, in the mid-1960’s.

Loretta loved Oakland Beach, and lived in that area, nearly her whole life. She’d often visit the seawall, with its stunning ocean view. Frequently, she’d take long, scenic drives, in southern New England, with her family and friends.

She is survived by her son, Gerald Oliveira; granddaughter, Lori (Oliveira) Soucy; great-grandson, Adam Anthony; three great-great-grandchildren; Aria, Adam and Audrey; as well as many nieces, and nephews, and great nieces, and nephews.

Her siblings: Fredrick Sheldon, John Eaton Jr., James Eaton, Rhoda (Sheldon) Charlton, Anna (Eaton) Bussell, Mildred (Eaton) Green, and Mable (Eaton) Harding, all predeceased her.

Loretta touched many lives, in her time. She was always there, to support her loved ones, and was always ready to lend a ‘listening ear’. Many, affectionately called her: ‘Auntie’, or ‘Nanny’. She will be sadly missed by all, in her family and community, who knew her.
