Rita Byers Obituary
Rita Jane Byers, age 90, of Toledo (Point Place), passed away peacefully with her beloved cat (Cali) by her side in her home on May 2, 2022. Rita was a loving and devoted wife of 62 years to Charles Byers who preceded her in death in 2014. Rita and Charles were avid and beautiful skiers traveling all over the world to enjoy their hobby. They also enjoyed cruising. Rita worked over 30 years at Owens Illinois as an executive secretary, a career she enjoyed and was very proud of. Rita is survived by her granddaughters, Tracy (Robert) Seifert and Marcy (Johnny) Rodgers; nieces, Amy Chauvette, Karen (Gerry) Jeremy, Pamela Posce; nephew, Thomas (Lisa) Posce; and many other family members and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Charles; and step-daughter, Sharon Lee Byers.
The family would like to give a special thank you to all the staff members of ProMedica Hospice who helped grant Rita's last wish of staying in her home during her final journey here on earth and for their wonderful care and compassion not just to Rita, but for her family as well.
In honoring Rita's wishes, there be no visitation, but a private graveside service.

I was a younger single guy just out of the navy and met Rita as she walked down the alley if 123 st to there home. Chuck & Rita took me to some of Chucks ballgames. They were very nice to me.

My husband & I skied (Aspen) with Charlie & Rita for many ski seasons. They were so much fun to be with. One year they brought Kaazoos (sp.) and played them for anybody that would listen. Sorry of her passing. Will keep them in my thoughts & prayers.

I´m really sorry about the loss of your grandmother. I never met her but felt like I did by the way you always spoke so lovingly of her.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I have many fond memories of Aunt Rita. One sticks out most to me as I spent time at my grandmothers house when I was young, cousins and I would run from grandma Eggerts house to Rita´s and Chucks house. She would have us in and we would play on the shaggy carpet checker board. Over the years we would send cards back & forth, and today I came across one that she sent me. Just finding out of her passing "I think she was letting me know". May you Rest In Peace Aunt Rita. I love you Lisa

My condolences in the passing of Rita. I too work O-I and fondly remember Rita as the receptionist at O-I's Duraglass Center. She was a very polite and classy lady. May she rest in peace.
