Rita O'Laughlin Obituary
Rita was passionate about the arts and traveling. As Mary Anne, her dear friend, recalls: "when I think of Rita, I will always think of class and culture. She loved all that San Francisco had to offer. Rita loved life and all the arts. Her beautiful apartment is perfect in every way. She was often the guest at our table for celebrations, and we would hang on her every word because she just knew so damn much about art and beauty. She was thoughtful, well-read, and a pleasure to be with. This foggy city grieves today."

To the Family: Life is like a mist. Its here today and gone tomorrow. The joyful memories are still here for you to cherish. Continue to stay close and pray for each other to give comfort, along with heartfelt prayers and loving support from friends to give your hearts enough room to cope with your loss. (Psalms 119:32)
