Rita was a devoted daughter, sister, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed family most. Spending time with her family always brought her joy. Whether it be spending the evenings with her mother and father, or spoiling her grandchildren, family meant the most to Rita. She also enjoyed time outdoors, flowers especially. One of her favorite things to do was to ride around town, gazing at the azaleas with her mother and sister. Another hobby of hers was the piano. From a young age, Rita enjoyed sitting behind the black and white keys and playing a tune. Among family and her hobbies, she was a caregiver at all times. She loved helping others, especially caring for the elderly throughout the community in various ways. Rita will be missed dearly by her family, friends, and all that knew her.
