Rita Rae Alvord

Reg & family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I met Rita when she and Reg rescued Christmas one year for the boys and girls in the San Juan Islands. The S.E.S. Discovery had experienced mechanical problems the weekend before and we couldn't locate a substitute Sea Scout ship. Someone tipped me off that I should call the Alvords. Reg and Rita agreed to take Mr. and Mrs. Claus, Rudy, clowns, pirates and a few Sea Scout helpers aboard the R&R to the stops we missed the previous weekend. ...

Our most heartfelt sympathy and love goes out to Reg, Jeff, Kim, Lori, Steve and all the extended family. Rita always greeted us with warmth and generosity – and a good-natured, wry sense of humor that never failed to bring a laugh. She was the Queen of the Mother Ship R & R, and we will always remember her in her fleece zip-up sweatshirt sitting on the back deck with a glass of white wine welcoming everyone onboard. We will miss her dearly, and will forever cherish the good times and happy...

Reg, so sorry to hear about Rita. My sympathies for you and your family. your cousin--Winston

You have my deepest sympathy. May the God of loyal love comfort the family during your time of sorrow. Psalm 119:76

We are so very sorry to hear of Ritas passing. She will be truly missed in the boating community.
Sincerely, Britt and Jesse Simenson

We are so sorry. Rita was a wonderful woman and always remember her sitting on the back of their boat at Roche Harbor. She will be missed for sure.

Always loved Reta, her great sence of humor, seemed to always have a smile. She was a great friend to our entire family.
She will be missed by many!
Our thoughts and prayers to the whole family, so sorry to hear of your loss.

I am so sad to learn of Rita's passing. But her memory sure does bring a smile to my face. She was a great woman!! Big hugs to you all. I'm so sorry. Ashley (Palmer/Taubenheim) Sullivan :)

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4 : 14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
