Rita Kaminsky Obituary

Kaminsky, Rita Age 51 Died March 8, 2007 Rita died from complications of Multiple Systems Atrophy. She is survived by her partner, Rhonda Kaminsky, and her children Randy, Jennifer, Ashley, Jeremy; her granddaughter Aaliyah and her cat, Toonces. Rita wanted Struthers Parkinson's Center's Club Create to know how grateful she was to participate in that program. Special thanks to Beryl McHale for her sustained support of Rita. Rita suffered stoically for nearly 5 years with this disease along with her partner who was her sole caregiver. As a result of this isolation, Rita and Rhonda are profoundly grateful for the support and help selflessly given by Jill Sandberg during all these years. We also appreciated the expertise of Anna Reiter, R.N. during many difficult times. Rita's deepest and eternal gratitude goes to David and Todd for transforming the unbearable into a wonderful blessing. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.
