About this listen
August 13, 2025
Loie looks back on motherhood — raising four children through the turbulence of the 1950s and ’60s while building community around her. She reflects on trusting her kids to find their way, the friendships and “village” that shaped them, and the adventures of family life: from Camp Concordia summers and packed car trips to Florida, to living in a veteran trailer park while Walt earned his master’s in Bloomington, Indiana. She shares stories of baby Pat’s sleepless nights, stroller walks along Lake Michigan with Mark, and the warmth of her own parents’ love. The conversation drifts through laughter, reflection, and gratitude for a life stitched together by family, faith, and adventure.
