Rita Markowitz

After 20+ years, I ran into Rick's lovely wife, MaryAnn, in WLV, and was sad to hear of Rita's passing. I always thought Rita had class, brains, style, and beauty. Always a warm "hello", always a kind word. What sad news.

Mom, it's been 5 months now and your presence is still felt in our home where you passed. Everyday that goes by we think of you. We miss your smile,jokes, and just you...

It is now a month since my Aunt Rita's passing, and her spirit, her presence, is very much alive in all our hearts and in our minds. She is a part of our comfort, as she is forever a part of us. I miss you so. . . "Thee" Cindy Lee

For us, Rita represented strength through a deep care for her family, her home. She loved the beauty she experienced in art, in particular music. She was always proud of her families accomplishments and supported those effort. She was compassionate and understanding of human suffering. We will always remember her selflessness and courage in the last few years of her life. WIth Love

The Mother of our much loved son-in-law, Alan was a beautiful, strong woman who gave so much to her four sons and their wives. The legacy she has left behind will always make the memories sweet and meaningful. Her love for them and her grandchildren plus her tremendous courage throughout her long battle will be forever remembered.

You all gave her the love, serenity and respect in her final months that was a tribute to a good life.

Most sincerely,

Marilyn and Marty Rubin
Verona, New Jersey

Words can not express how deep the loss is felt, not just to me but to all those who knew my Mom. She was my inspiration; always knowing what to say to make things right. I will love and miss her every day of my life.

Knowing Rita gave us the greatest joy. We have many fond and special memories of her. The Markowitz's are like family to us. We
share your grief and love you all.

My condolences to the family. I knew her through knowing my friend, Alan Markowitz, as he would relay stories from his childhood. What a beauty she was!
I am glad that she now rests. And what a beautiful legacy of love she leaves.
Best,
Linda Amador

Nana was not only loved by all those who knew her; she was adored. She really was one of a kind and will be missed dearly. I will think and speak of Nana often, with the greatest sense of pride that comes from being her grandson and passing on her loving memory. I love and miss you Nana.

Here is the beautiful composite photo that was displayed at my Mom's memorial service at Pierce Bros. Valley Oaks Memorial on April 5th. She will be truly missed by all those who loved her & cherished her presence. She was the epitome of class & elegance, unselfishness & pride in the legacy of the family she left behind. Rest in peace, Mom. I love you.
