I remember Rita as one of the warmest people I´ve ever. She and her friend Marlene would walk together. My mom would talk about her trips. My mom and I will miss her. Out condolences to all of your family.

Rita made the world a brighter place! Happy to have known her. Linda and Dean Hoffman

Rita was a dear friend. My late mother, Esther Avis, was a school with Rita in the 1960´s. They shared a house until my mom met my dad, Bruce. Rita remembered all of my family members with cards and gifts on their special days. She was a wonderful `Aunt´ to me. She will be missed.

I met Rita at Cat Welfare when we worked together at their Catique Thrift Shop. She was a beautiful humanitarian ; loving and well-loved.

I was her neighbor, we did many things together. Our favorite thing to do was thrift store shopping. I'm going to miss her she was my birthday twin.

Condolences to cousin Rita's family & friends. I will miss her cards filled with sweet notes and her fb posts where she showed courage & compassion. Laurel (Calvin) Hardt

Rita was a dear friend. We met each New Year´s Eve day for lunch without fail. I shall miss her.

Rita was a gracious lady who gave freely of her talents. She worked to teach children the things they needed to know. She was a great lady who I was proud to know.
