I remember Rita from Dr. Sahoo's office in Coaldale. I was a patient there for many years. Rita was always so kind and compassionate. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Rita. May she rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about Rita’s passing. She was a wonderful lady and my mom (cousin Dolores DeLaurentis) has many great memories including dancing from their youth. May Rita rest in peace with Frank. ❤

I´m so sorry to learn of Rita´s passing. I worked with Rita during her time at Coaldale Hospital. She was a great nurse and sweet person. Thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones.

Patti and family, I was so sorry to hear about your Mother´s passing, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time!

So sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person and will be missed. Sending prayers for all the family.

Rita had a light-hearted and tender presence. Whenever I was in her company, I felt happy. Just seeing her made me feel like everything would be okay. Rita left me laughing when she and Patty were on their way for ice cream and they stopped to say hello on the corner of 4th and Phillips. I´ll never forget that moment. To all of her wonderful family - you will have Mom´s beautiful light shining within you and she will be a part of us forever.

What a beautiful soul! So sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for all of you.
May God wrap his arms of comfort around you and give you peace. Love you all!
