What a beautiful lady. She was a lovely neighbor to have. Her yard and flowers reflected all of her hard work. I will miss her sparkling smile and the twinkle in those blue eyes. Now in Jesus arms. Rest in peace dear friend. Fred and Renee Hukill.

I worked with Rita at Medical Center physicians/Saltzer. It was 1993, I was 20, hadn´t been there very long when I was introduced to this wonderful lady working as a receptionist. Loved her right away and when I saw her filing her nails at the receptionist desk window, I said to myself, I wanna be her when I grow up!!
Loved working with her she was the most beautiful, classy, funny, sweetest lady ever! So glad & honored I got to be her friend. I will miss you, Rita. Rest in peace. Love you

I can still hear her giggle. I remember her story of driving home in the awesome burgundy Chevy with the radio so loud she didn´t hear the cop behind her till she got to the railroad crossing. Lots of memories of her and her family. Loved seeing her green thumb in action. Thoughts and prayers are with Emerson and the girls.

So sorry to hear about Rita passing. She was such an upbeat person. I will really miss her posts on Facebook. She made my husband and I feel so welcome when we joined Deerflat. We met at a Dinner for Eight and our friendship was off and running. Will really miss her

Rita and Emerson were very good friends. Rita I will always miss you, and love you. I still can't believe you're gone. You were so full of life, gave me lots of laughs, and your expertise on flowers were superb. Everything about you was top notch. The inside of your home was spectacular to match the outside. We are going to miss our card games together, sharing memories and laughter, appetizers and meals. It's not going to be the same to look down the aisle at church and see an empty seat at your pew. I know that you are in heaven, and you told me a while back that you hope that God would allow you to take care of the flowers. I'm so thankful your whole, and heaven rejoiced when you got there. You are going to be very much missed and forever loved here
