Loretta Keller was born on March 5, 1934, at the home of Raymond Peter and Theresa Mary (Kalscheuer) Keller in Vienna Township, rural Dane, Wisconsin.

The family moved to Waunakee, Wisconsin, a year later. Loretta finished eighth grade at St. John’s Catholic School in Waunakee before graduating from high school in 1952. She worked in the Oscar Mayer offices in Madison, Wisconsin, for nine years. Loretta married Dean Russell Goldbeck of Tomah, Wisconsin, on June 17, 1961, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Waunakee. Loretta moved to Tomah after their marriage. Loretta retired in January 1995 after 31 years of service at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin.

Loretta had previously served as co-chair of the PCCW at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Tomah, treasurer of the Western District Volunteer Organization, president of the Tomah Hospital Auxiliary Volunteer Organization, and member of the same church’s Saint Rose’s Guild.

Loretta traveled to the casino and played bingo with different groups of friends on a weekly and monthly basis, in addition to playing cards (her favorites were Eutre and May I). Loretta and Dean enjoyed significant fishing in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Canada, as well as deer hunting, in addition to engaging in a couples bowling league.
