I met Rita in Oct 2021 when I brought my mom, Dolores Garro, to their 75th Immaculata High School reunion, also with my Godmother Marie Marino, all Immaculata 1946 graduates! Rita was such a sweetheart and we would speak on the phone a couple times a year. May dear Rita RIP and may choirs of Angels lead her to Paradise
Sincerely, Dolores Garro and daughter, Joyce
