Baby was known for her ability to have fun and to create an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. Although she was not known for her cooking, she will be remembered for her magnificent table settings, flower arrangements, and ability to throw a great party.
She is survived by her children; Lynn Loflin (Stuart Wexelbaum), Wes Loflin (Kim Nicklas Loflin), and Kay Loflin. Grandchildren include Nicki Loflin Sampognaro (Frank Sampognaro), John Reed Loflin (Rebecca Robertson Loflin), and Ian Wexelbaum.
