I was her dentist for the past 20 yrs. I have such fond memories of this great lady. I loved it when she would be on our Schedule. Her outlook on life and her loving way would just make your day. She was the kind that made you think you were her best friend. She will be missed but heaven will be blessed by having her back home.

Sr. Rita was a complete joy to be with. She was as bright as could be. I will always remember her infectious spirit curiosity, and witty and wonderful conversational stamina. She was a true blue-thoughtful, loyal, empathetic and fun! Gone too soon but off to Glory land! Sending love to Rita´s family and to her close pal Kris. Xo
