A beautiful lady has gone home. Her faith was strong. I'm certain she is enjoying her new life and was greeted by her loved ones in heaven. She will be missed but sweet memories will remain in our hearts until we meet again.

My sympathy to Rita's family. I worked with your mom at Sheehan's Grocery Store on Main Street back in the early 50's. We had many good times together there which was quite awhile before she met your dad. We lost contact for a few years and when my husband joined the Legion we got re-acquainted and reminisced over the past. Again my sincere condolences to the family.

It's been many yrs. since I've seen anyone from this side of the family tree. But never forgotten. This saddens my heart and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sounds like aunt Rita lived a good life and uncle Bob waited a long time for her to come home. My deepest condolences.

To the Rita Pfaff Clan,
So saddened to see of your mom’s passing.
I remember Rita as a warm and classy lady. She always had time to stop and talk
when she would be out and about.
I also remember her(and Bob, years ago) as having a great time when heading out to neighborhood establishments. She always appeared to love being around people.
Wow, what a wonderful and sometimes challenging life she had raising all 9 of you.
Now, thru laughs and tears of all the memories she made with you to share and cherish
as you go on.
Rose & John Bantle
