Fredericka Harris Obituary

Fredericka (Rickie) Grace Harris

1948-2022

Fredericka (Rickie) Grace Harris (73) of Santa Maria, CA passed away Thursday, May 26th, 2022, in Arroyo Grande, CA

On September 7th, 1948, Rickie was born in Lompoc, CA, at Camp Cooke. She grew up in Orcutt, CA, and Santa Maria, CA, and graduated from SMHS in 1967.

Rickie married twice and had three children that she adored. She loved the beach, talking, and spending time with her family.

She may have left us but not without leaving her mark. She was one of The Golden Girls of our family. Her smile and laugh, pink cheeks, and beautiful blue eyes will never be forgotten.

She leaves behind her beautiful sisters, Emily De Yonge and Betty Sellitto (Thomas).

Rickie is survived by her daughters Diane Sellitto, Marlena Mase (Lonnie), and grandchildren Stephanie Sellitto, Corey, and Brandon Mase. Nephew and nieces Bill Schooley (Dee), Anna Lennon (Jeff), Melody (Delmar) Chamberlain, Amy Chamberlain (Dan), Karen Sellitto, and numerous great and great-great nephews and nieces that she loved and adored.

Rickie is preceded in death by her mother and father, Wilsonia (Anne) and Herman Aeilts, Son Aaron Sellito, and grandson Patrick Mase.

I love you, mom. We all love you so much. May God bless you.
