We are sending many prayers to Rita’s family. I knew Rita in high school and Orville
dated her in high school. We remained friends with her through all the JFK reunions and St. Patrick’s picnics.
Rita was always one of my favorite people to see when visiting St. Louis. Her zest for life was unmatched!! She always had a smile on her face and was so fun to talk to. Rest in peace Rita. You will be missed.
I am blessed to have had Rita as part of my children’s and my life as well.
Sending love and healing thoughts to Rita’s family and friends. She will be missed.
