Rita Campe Obituary
Rita had an insatiable curiosity. She was a lifelong learner who loved poetry, reading and travel. Her Irish heritage was a source of pride and joy for her, as was her deep love of music and dance. She loved to share her interests and her experiences with her family and many friends and always had time to listen and offer her wisdom. Her profound spirituality and love of God provided comfort and meaning to herself and others. We are grateful for her long life and wish her peace on the next phase of her journey.
The celebration of her life will begin with a service on Sunday, May 21 at noon, at 717 Grange Court, Wheaton, Illinois, home of Jennifer Campe, followed by lunch and reminiscing. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Care for Real.
