Legacy Leader of the Month: Reatha's Treasures
After retiring, Loreatha, the creative force behind Reatha’s Treasures, discovered a new passion — designing jewelry that reflects individuality, creativity, and pride. What began as a hobby soon grew into a thriving small business, showcasing her handcrafted pieces at community events and local markets.
Each piece from Reatha’s Treasures is thoughtfully made, combining timeless style with a personal touch that resonates with every wearer. Through her work, Loreatha reminds us that it’s never too late to pursue your purpose and share your gifts with the world.
As our Legacy Leader of the Month, we celebrate Loreatha for her artistry, resilience, and commitment to inspiring others to create, connect, and keep building their own legacies.
