Rita Pucklis Obituary
September 19, 2025, the decedents' 82nd wedding anniversary, there will be a graveside Catholic Liturgy Service to honor Rita and Leon Pucklis and commend them to God.
Service time is 2:00pm. Interment is next to Rita's parents' gravesite, Joseph J. and Emma K. (Boyd) Niziolek, at the Holy Rosary Cemetery, 7305 German Hill Road, Dundalk, MD. A commemorative memorial luncheon will be provided after the service at a local restaurant.
Rita is survived by her daughters Veronica R. Joseph, St. Simons Island, GA; Barbara L. Glover, Mt. Pleasant, SC; Deborah L. Jackman, Millsboro, DE; and son Leon A. Pucklis Jr, Philadelphia, PA. She is also survived by eight grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren.
Family and friends that can or cannot attend the service or require additional information may leave a message to my attention, Leon Pucklis, through the arrangement of Lilly and Zeiler Funeral Services, Baltimore, MD, 410-327-1442.
