Rita was a good friend to me we set and talk for hours she always had a smile and kind words I will miss you my friend fly high until we meet again

So many memories of my oldest sister. My heart just shattered. She was a protector, a fighter, and a guide. When she loved she loved with all of her heart. Rita has been through so much but always stood stronger in the end. Her kids and grandkids were her greatest love. Still so hard to believe she is gone Forever in my heart sis. Watch over us all especially ur babies and grandbabies. Until we are together again. I will miss you I love you

I can't believe U left this world before me. Our friendship was one of kind Rita.. May u keep watch a watch on your kids n grandkids... Fly High Lady. See ya on the other side.

The first time I met Rita was in her home. She made me feel like i was part of the family, serving warm chocolate chip cookies and cold milk I had just spoken with her the night before she passed away I was planning a visit and we were discussing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Im still in shock. You will be missed my dear friend but not forgotten.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Rita´s father is David Skipton and she had two sisters Beth & Colene thru her father. We are praying for the Family.

She was my idle for many years. Her countless ways of helping not only, but everyone. She is the only person I know that spoke what was needed and not fear any repercussions. RIP Rita. Ill always love you

Rita will always have a special place in my heart she gave me three beautiful daughters and I will always love her
