Rita Franko Benson

Rita, you will be very missed! You were a perfect example of what ballroom dancing does for people to truly change their lives. You were a part of the Fred Astaire Dance Studios for so many long years and it was part of your life style. You were also one of the very first students to make your way back to us when we opened the new location of the studio! I will always remember answering your phone call, had to get started back with your dancing while my mom and I were still painting the walls! Haha. RIP dear Rita Benson!

My Husband Bob and I have known Rita for many years within the Fred Astaire Dance World. Rita definitely loved to Dance and I will always think of her whenever I hear a Texas 2 Step Dance who she loved to dance with Bob with. Rita will definitely be missed in our Special Close Knit Dance Group at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Warren RIP Rita.
