Rita Deerhake

I am so sorry for your loss. I was out of town and didn't catch the news until the 20th. She was a great lady and will be missed. Jy prayers for the family for comfort and peace. Shirley Billings

Deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. She was an iconic nurse leader. She hired me as a brand new graduate in 1975. She gave me the opportunity to have my first dream job and encouraging me throughout my nursing career. Prayers for all of you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Sorry for the Loss of your Mother. She was a Great Lady. I knew her from St. John Church and was in classes with her when we were attending University of Dayton working on our Masters Degree. May She rest in Peace in the Arms of the LORD.

My condolences to her family and friends. I met her when I started in 1987. She was a sweetheart and strong upstanding woman.

I remember her from all the time we both were at St. Rita's. She was sure a smart, fair and great lady. She and her whole family are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Our heartfelt sympathy to Rita's family. She was a lovely lady. Dan and Jan Klopp

My sympathy to Rita's family and friends. I had the privilege of working for Rita at St. Rita's Medical Center. She was one brilliant and compassionate woman!

Rita was a great leader at SRMC, took her job very seriously. She valued each employee. Miss seeing her when I go to the thrift store. Condolences to her family on their loss of their Matriarch.
