Eternal rest grant unto Rita, dear Lord and may perpetual light shine upon her! May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.
Rita was such a nice woman to us. She loved our little girl, Madeleine, and would always talk to her. We will miss her at St. Margaret Mary's!
Rita, pray for us, and we will pray for you and your family.

Mary Helen,
I feel like I know you though we never met. I met your Mom at physical therapy in '08
after she fell. I ended up taking her home sometimes, visiting, running her around,
taking pictures of her cats, etc... Ever since then we remained in touch and I took her
out for her 99th b-day for lunch and since it was horrible outside we went back to the
house & just visited and played w/Buddy who I adored. I am beside myself because
I somehow missed this in the paper and just found out yesterday because the woman
that was in the same room when Rita came in, I happen to know & have been visiting
at St. Anne's. The more I spoke to the daughter the pieces just started adding up &
needless to say, I was in absolute shock. I adored your Mom with all my heart and
couldn't believe her spunk and I was so proud to say I knew her. I will NEVER forget
her and I know she'd love to know that Buddy found a new home, please let me know.
I'm so sorry-she was one of a kind-still shocked.

Dear Mary Helen,
I was sorry to hear that your dear mother passed away. I always enjoyed visiting with her at Mary-Ellen and Jack's home. She had a ready wit and was always cheerful. I admired that she volunteered for years at St. Mary's Hospital.
My condolences to you.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Gregory
(I was in Mary-Elllen's wedding. Haven't seen you since then!)

The word "youthful " doesn't begin to describe Rita. This woman at the age of 99 still had so much energy and a zest for life that she could outlast my sister on shopping excursions and outings. She was enthusiastic and found joy and pleasure in everything she did. I don't think Rita ever took the time to calculate her actual chronological age-- she was far too busy "living". And oh how I wish she could have lived to her 100th birthday. She would have loved a special celebration. Rest in peace Rita. You have certainly earned it.

Sorry to learn of Rita's passing. We worked together at Rochester Telephone back in the early 70's. I always admired Rita's positive outlook as a single mom having lost her husband early on. Rita was dedicated, hard working and great with customers Always admired Rita,s support and esteem for daughter Mary Helen. A great and proud Mom.
Glad I got to know Rita in our days at RTC
Rest in Peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. Rita was such an inspiration. She always seemed so independent and strong. I loved to hear stories about her such as when she shoveled the snowy steps when she was in her 80 s because she didn't want the mailman to slip and fall.
I have never had Christmas cookies before or since that were as good as Rita's cookies. My best wishes go out to MaryHelen and the rest of her family.
