Margaret Loretta Nunn

Margaret Loretta Nunn, 81, of Williamsburg, Virginia entered eternal rest on December 8, 2022, at home, surrounded by her husband and children. She was the daughter of Albert Austin Vint and Margaret Elizabeth Paytes. Loretta touched many lives. She graduated from Stafford High School and studied early childhood education at Mary Washington College before joining the Mary Washington School of Nursing and becoming an LPN. She worked as a scrub nurse at the University of Virginia Hospital for a heart surgeon and assisted in some of the first open heart surgeries. She later worked in most of the departments at Williamsburg Community Hospital and then in family practice. Her second act career was as a daycare provider where she cared for countless children as if they were her own. Loretta served the church for many years as the childcare coordinator, den mother for her sons’ cub scout pack, scoutmaster’s wife, band booster, ballet mom, and servant to the community. Her quiet, stoic demeanor was marked with quick wit, a splash of sarcasm, and sharp observations. Loretta walked with purpose everywhere she went and wholeheartedly believed that if you were not early, then you were most certainly late. She found joy in her work and thought any job or deed worth doing should be done well. She taught her children, grandchildren, and great-grandson that God created them to do something amazing and it was their job to discover their life’s purpose and pursue it rigorously while serving others. Loretta met the love of her life in the early hours of the morning on November 23, 1962. While Loretta slept in her apartment bedroom, a rowdy young man named David, from the neighboring University of Virginia, barged in to meet his friend's girlfriend’s cute roommate. From that day forward, they were together. They were married just a few months later, on February 23, 1963. David doted on Loretta and worked to fulfill her final wish to be home. He brought her home, from the hospital, on the 60th anniversary of the day they met, November 23, 2022. Loretta spent her final days at home admiring the twinkling lights of her Christmas tree while enjoying Hallmark Christmas movies. Loretta confided in her children that she was so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving man, who did everything in his power to bring her comfort and joy, as her husband, father of her children, and best friend. Loretta was preceded in death by her son Brian David Nunn. She is survived by her husband, David Nunn; her children Steven (Jody) Nunn and Kimberlee (Evan) Magrill; her grandchildren Justin (Katie) Nunn, Nicholas (Carey) Nunn, Max, and Jack Magrill; great-grandson Oliver Nunn; and siblings Albert Vint, Betsy (Don) Hafner, Anne (Lynn) Garrison and Betty (David) Eubank.
