Rita worked as a cook in several Northampton public schools: Hawley Jr. High, Florence Grammar and Jackson Street School.

Rita also leaves her dear, close friends, Bill Finn and Bill Finn Jr.
Rita will also be missed by her animal companions, Dewey and Miss Butler. The family wishes to thank Dr. Mark Casey and Dr. Adam Garretson, the staff at the Cooley Dickinson Hospital and Overlook care facility for their great care and compassion, alone with the Palliative Care unit at Bay State Medical; and especially her nephew, Ed, and her nieces Joan and Eileen, and her caring neighbors Chet and Danielle.
