My beautiful Auntie Rita! We have gone through many wild adventures over the years! Some, probably not the best decisions but what the hell! You have been my savior during rough times! I will truly miss your beautiful smile, sparkling blue eyes and your contagious laughter! We will have another Rita hair day! I promise! I love you to the dark side of the moon and back. Your loving niece Aimee. ❤️
I love you forever. Rest in Peace Beauty!
Watch over us, we need it! You will be dearly missed and God Bless!
Rock-N-Roll!
Rita was a kind and loving grandmother to Jaime and Brittany. She would record special movies and cartoons for the kids to watch later at home. She was pure love and kindness.
Lots of good memories of Aunt Rita from when I was young. She was always so sweet. Rest in Peace.
Recently, the world grew quieter. My beautiful Aunt—full of grace, warmth, and strength—left us, and though my heart feels heavy, I find comfort in the light she left behind.
She was more than family. She was a safe haven, a confidant, a quiet hero. Her laughter had a way of softening the hardest days, and her hugs could silence any storm. She taught me that kindness isn’t loud—it’s consistent. That love isn’t always spoken—it’s lived, daily, in gentle acts and thoughtful silences. She may have departed this earth, but she will never leave our hearts.
Rest well, Auntie Ri. You were—and always will be—one of life’s rarest gifts. Love, Renee`
