They moved to Monona and had six beautiful children. Rita was a charter member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church for 63 years and a member of St. Anne’s Society. She loved cooking and knitting, making personalized Christmas stockings for every family member and friends upon requests. Rita’s passion was loving little children and volunteering for many church functions.

To the Noble family--I am so sorry for your loss. Rita was an amazing woman. I'm sure her loss will be felt for a long time. I couldn't have had a more wonderful influence in my kids' lives when she provided them daycare many years ago--loving, caring, and a great teacher. My kids, as well as many others that she cared for, always wanted to stay in touch with her as they got older, so that they could share their successes and families with her--she meant that much to them. I am so glad I was able to visit with her a couple of weeks ago. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of Rita's passing. She was a real positive presence at IHM, and we will truly miss her. Nobody half her age could keep up with her. Our prayers go out to your whole family.

To all the Nobles, I am so sorry for your loss. Rita was a force to be reckoned with! I cannot help but think back on all the times I spent at your house observing the good person she was. She was a great influence on all of us and seemed to tolerate our childhood pranks with mostly good humor. The world somehow seems a little lonelier now that she is gone. Mary Kneebone

Grandma, you were the most amazing person I've ever known. You touched so many lives, cared for so many people, and performed countless, selfless acts of kindness and love. There are so many wonderful memories I have that I will always cherish. Two of my favorite memories include the Christmas stockings you would knit for anyone who joined your family through birth or friendship. The other memory I hold dear is how you would stand outside your front door when visits with you would end, and wave as your guest backed out of your driveway until they disappeared from sight. It didn't matter if it was freezing cold or pouring rain outside, you stood there with a big smile on your face and waved goodbye. I love you so much!!! xoxo Renee Noble

As I breathe in, breath out, I can't help be think about how raw this is for you, and yet surreal... My prayers are with you. As the numbness wears off, and reality begins to seep in... My prayers will be with you. Know that your pain is shared; your tears mix with Heavenly Father's tears... There can be no gain without change, without loss... And, my prayers are with you. This life is hard to let go of, even with loved ones waiting on the other side of the Veil... As are our loved ones are hard to let go of, our souls know that this separation is temporary, yet our hearts grieve still... My prayers are with you always. May you allow His comfort to ease your pain and grant you some piece of mind, for you love just as deeply as you are loved. And, as long as there is love, your loved ones live on... Much love to you and best of blessings...
