Rita leaves behind a long list of people who are forever grateful to have been part of her life. Rita may not have had children of her own, but, within her heart, she had adopted every child she ever met. She loved her job working at Happy Days Preschool for 26 years and will be missed by all of them.
Rita will be remembered for many things as she loved living life and would do just about anything she was asked, especially if asked by a child. You can’t think of her without a smile. She loved so many things. She enjoyed the sunshine and outdoors with camping or spending time unwinding on vacation or shopping. She loved taking care of animals. She loved being around people she loved whether it be during fellowship at church, singing songs, or even square dancing. She loved to bake and deliver those treats to her family and friends.
Rita was full of life. She used her time and energy to devote herself to her family. She was loving and kind. She was faithful to the Lord and loved to praise Him. She will forever live on in all of the lives she touched.
