I cannot believe or even comprehend how much I miss you?! I think about you everyday and I notice that you still visit me, from time to time.

Rita will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Rita once told me it was her work with the 3M LGBTQ employee resource network that mattered more than anything else throughout her 42 yr 3M career. I can sincerely say she had a strong impact on me, 3M, and anyone else that knew her. Her legacy lives on.

Dear Rita, gone too soon. Always an inspiration, sewing missions, LGPTQ ally work, work-work. So glad she retired early and had that extra time with family and life. Gratitude.

Rita, my sister, I had not adopted your "attitude of gratitude" as a lifestyle. I will seek to adopt it now, as a way to keep you close in my heart. I love you and am glad that the last time we spoke together we end the conversation with "I love you."

Chris and Meredith, so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I know what a big part of your life she was and how much she will be missed. I hope in time all your wonderful memories will ease your sorrow. Remember-a mother's, and a grandmother's, love is forever! Big hug to Oliver. He's lucky to have you during this difficult time.

Dear Chris and Family-
I was shocked to see this! I just saw Rita in the dental office a few weeks ago! She was a longtime dental patient and we got to be friends also! She loved to share stories about her time with the family!
I will miss her bright smile and kind ways!
Thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Rita trusted me to babysit her infant baby girl Chriss Joyce until she was 10 years old, she shared her family with me, and I will always be grateful for the time I spent with her at the Tornado shelter when she came with us during a warning. I will never forget her smile, her laugh which was more of a giggle, her helping Joe shovel the snow, Invites to Graduations, Birthday Parties and Retirement parties. She included me in many of her activities and I will always Love her and Miss her forever

I remember Rita as being a really great kid, all the Joyce kids were! Sorry you have to experience this loss. Your very old babysitter.
