Rita Johnson Obituary

passed away peacefully in her home in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire on June 29, 2021 at age 77. Born in Wakefield Massachusetts to Lydia Jaworski Johnson, and Guy Johnson, Rita was predeceased by Lydia, Guy and her brother Jimmy. Rita is survived by her brother Guy Junior of Reading, her loving sons Chris, Nathan, and Glen McNulty and 6 grandchildren. Rita graduated from Reading Memorial High School and later, Mount Ida College in Newton.

An avid artist her whole life, in the early 1990s Rita turned her love of visual illustration into a successful business in the budding field of computer generated graphic arts. When she moved from Massachusetts to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire 10 years later, Rita brought this business with her and ran it from her home office for the years that followed.

The family will hold a private ceremony and ask that anyone wishing to honor Rita's memory please make a modest donation to the Lakes Region Humane society (https://lrhs.net/) in her memory.
