Loveta Fay Ziegenbein (Parrett) passed away on Dec. 22, 2020, at her daughter’s home in Hood River, Ore. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family at 80 years of age. She was born in Bartlesville, Okla., to Clifford Parrett and Viola Spieth. She had two sisters, Karen and Rita, and one brother, Cliff Jr.
The family moved to Mosier, Ore., when Loveta was young. She graduated from Mosier High School. On Nov. 7, 1959, she married Lester E. Ziegenbein of Hood River in Mosier. They had three children, Daniel, Gary, and Carla. The family lived in Tillamook, Ore., for a time and then moved back to Hood River in 1964.
Loveta was primarily a homemaker and mother. Over the years, she worked in the cafeteria at Pine Grove School, Pine Grove Store, and Jack’s Auto body. She enjoyed going to her children’s sporting and 4H events.
Later in life, she enjoyed volunteering at Westside School when her granddaughters attended, Meals on Wheels, HRVCC thrift shop, Hood River Christmas Project, and FISH Food Bank. She loved traveling with her friends to national bowling tournaments, traveling with Lester and the Good Sam Club in their RV, and hosting family holidays at her house, where she was known for making way too much food. She was also a member of Hood River Valley Christian Church.

She is survived by her son, Daniel (Terri) Ziegenbein; daughter, Carla (Wes) Bailey; sister, Karen Thorsen; granddaughters Logan and Mason Bailey; and many nieces and nephews.
