Sister Rita Moore

Now that I am old and writing my life story, Sister Reginald is listed as my most favorite teacher. She was very creative, taught hands-on, not only with books. Every day when I came into class, she said to me, "Mary Lou, How are YOU?" I loved her.

Sister Rita was my English teacher for both Freshman English and AP English at St. Rose. She taught me to be "pithy." I will never forget her fondness for puns despite decrying them as "the lowest form of humor."

I was also a student at St Rose Academy and had Sr Rita as my freshman english teacher. She surely enjoyed teaching and I have fond memories of her class.

Sister Reginald taught us in both the fifth and seventh grades at St Raphael's School. She was a wonderful teacher. Firm and demanding and allowed no misbehavior. She directed our choir for Sunday and Holiday Masses and taught us to breathe and use "round tones". She loved us to sing "On the Road to Mandelay". I've often thought of how fortunate we were to have her as a teacher. She was a very special lady.I wish she was here to teach children today

Sr. Rita was a delightful teacher at St. Rose Academy. She always had a smile and taught with joy to all the young women at SRA. She was my freshman English teacher. Thank you to the Lord and her family for sharing her with all of us.

I remember her well as a tough principal at St. Cyril's. Tough but fair.

She was quite a traveler and patron of the arts. I know I would have really enjoyed her as an adult.

God bless her and keep her.

I have very fond Memories of Sister Rita from my days at St. Rose
Academy (c/o '89). She was my freshman English teacher and I recall her being a very enthusiastic and kind individual who wanted nothing more than for her students to achieve success.

My condolences to her family and close friends.
