Rita Ann Engel

It was an inspiration to know your mother from church all these years. Her Faith, ever smiling face, service and joy in life have always been a beautiful example. Only today did I realize she had passed and that we weren’t praying for her health and I’m sorry to have missed her services. A life well lived and I know she is greatly missed. She’s not far, however♥

Although I didn't know your mother well, I know she raised a wonderful family and am thankful to be considered a friend. So sorry for your loss and prayers God guides you through this difficult time. He has gained another angel.

Rita,What you've left behind for us are tears of joy for all the wonderful memories of the family gatherings we shared
with you at the "Thanksgiving and Christmas" dinners over the past 25 plus years at your home.
God bless you,rest in peace.

Rita and Kirk welcomed us into their home when we adopting our daughter. We needed to stay for several days and they took what could have been a very trying time if we had to stay in a motel and made it into a wonderful memory with their kindness. Although our stay was relatively brief, it was a pleasure. I always hoped we were as good as their guests as they were hosts to us. Thank you Rita. May God bless you and your family.

Such a gracious women, who always showed a smile even when it was difficult times. She handled life with grace and faith. I always appreciated her kindness and welcoming ways. Go with God Rita and peace to your family.

I have such fond memories of Rita visiting Mom( Alberta) in Wichita! Great memories of the Wessling reunion in Buffalo!! She was a fun lady. My sympathies to your family.
