Rita was born April 20, 1958, in Lewis County, Kentucky, a daughter of the late Louis and Lorene May Bevins.
She attended Union Baptist Church and enjoyed watching her grandson race, along with watching her grandaughter compete in pageants. She looked forward to daily Face Time calls from her grandchildren, as she always enjoyed that special time with them to chat. Her grandchildren were always her number one priority, spoiling them with her homemade biscuits and gravy is what she did best.

Sterling, Kentucky; one daughter, Delta Pruitt of Vanceburg, Kentucky; 7 grandchildren, Dedrea, Dustin, Gabby, Gracey, Gage, Everleigh, Daniel; 3 great-grandchildren, Michael, Henry, Emerson; one brother, Roger Bevins of Vanceburg, Kentucky; two sisters, Rosie Noble of Tollesboro, Kentucky; Rena (Ronnie) Meadows of Petersville, Kentucky, along with many other family and friends who will sadly miss her.
