Rita Skrzypczak

Midland, Michigan

Rita Skrzypczak, a beacon of joy and faith, passed away peacefully on September 23, 2025, at the age of 93, in Midland, Michigan. Born on November 22, 1931, in Beaver Township, Michigan, Rita's life was a testament to the power of kindness, humor, and unwavering faith.

Rita was a cherished member of her community, known for her thoughtful nature and her ability to bring laughter to any room she entered. She was a devout Christian who lived her faith every day, touching the lives of all who knew her with her grace and compassion. Her life was a reflection of her beliefs, and she served as a role model for living a life filled with purpose and love.

A loving mother and grandmother, Rita's family was the center of her world. She is survived by her devoted children, Catherine Majchrzak and her husband Joseph, Thomas Skrzypczak and his wife Jerilyn, Jane Miller and her husband Bruce, and Mark Skrzypczak and his wife Brenda. Her legacy continues through her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will carry forward the lessons of kindness and laughter she so effortlessly imparted.
