Rita was such a kind lady. I worked with her St. Francis/Mayo in the nutrition department. She always easy to talk to and she worked hard. Rest in peace.

Rita was a wonderful woman and loving and caring aunt. It was so fun to go to Aunt Rita and Uncle Burt’s house when I was little. She is now in Jesus’ arms.
Love and peace to my dear cousins.
