I have so many lovely memories of you Rita. I guess 1 of the most fondest is when i was pregnant with my first son Joe. My husband and i went to Aunt Rita's for a weekend plans of going to the zoo as i had never been to one, and as fate would have it this very big pregnant mama was not going to make it. Getting out of was a chore that morning when Rita noticed that my feet where quote "Fred Fiinstone" feet. Yep she told me that I get to stay in bed. You know Rita I still have not been to a zoo! I will always remember your heart and kindness. Your humor will be missed and all the memories we had are safe in my heart . Till we meet again i send my love.

As a child I remember Uncle Chuck and Aunt Rita coming over to Grandma Ruby's house and spending the day snapping peas and making lemon meringue pies I will never forget her laugh

I will always remember you dear Lady. You always had a Doctor Pepper soda in your hand and lots of advice for me for my marriage. God has taken you now to a better place. May you have the inner peace that you so richly deserve now. God bless you and your family. Lotsa love, Cathy Redenz

I didn't know Rita well, but every time I saw her she had a smile on her face and a humorous "retort" ready. I loved seeing her with Chuck and the obvious love between them. She will be missed greatly by many family and friends, I'm sure. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Chuck.

To my dear Aunt Rita, I remember how you taught me to color in the lines as we colored together. We pretty much grew up together. My dad talked often about running home from school as soon as he found out he had a little sister. You were special to your family. I always appreciated your love of animals and your infectious laughter. You had some of the funniest sayings. My time spent with you and your family in the summers are some of my special memories. I will certainly miss your phone calls. 'Til we meet again. I
love you and miss you. Your first niece, Claudette Bendorf
