Rita graduated from Poland High School in 1954. She graduated from St. Francis School of Nursing in 1957. Rita went on to pursue her nursing at St. Francis Hospital in the psychiatric unit for forty-two years. She was valued as not only a wonderful nurse, but a supervisor and co-worker.

Rita also had served as a poll voting attendant for thirty years. Rita enjoyed traveling, especially to Boqueron, Puerto Rico. She was an avid Pittsburgh Steeler fan. Rita was always the first one in for a party or celebration, sipping Margarita’s. A loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Rita’s greatest joy was the time she spent with her family.

Eternal rest grant unto Rita, O Lord. Let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
