I remember Rita as a strong, loving, and dedicated woman of faith- and an exemplary mom. My brothers and I knew their family St. from St. Casimirs. Rest In Peace and in the Light and Love of Christ, Rita.

My condolences to the entire Klein family. I remember good times in Total Family with Mrs. Klein, and going door to door for her county commission race. She was an inspiration to me to be active in the community.

Dear Pam,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. She was a remarkable woman. Four years ago when I broke my leg, your Mom came to visit me in the hospital. It was such a pleasure to see her, and she was a great comfort to me. Your parents were wonderful people that I will always remember with fondness.
Love, Barb

My condolences to the Klein family at this sad time. Both Rita and Norbert influenced me greatly growing up at St. Casimir's, but Rita especially was an inspiration! I have a vivid memory of Rita telling a group of us, it may have been a CCD class, about how Vatican II was opening the windows of the Church to the world, (or something like that). She was enthusiastic, a real leader, someone we all respected!

When Rita and I taught total family education, she demonstrated many times over her faith, her love of children, and her ability to lead. She was a wonderful woman.
