She formed many close, life-long friendships and was active within the church and school.

Rita often spoke about how blessed she was to have such loving, caring parents, a great childhood, and all the fun times with her French Canadian relatives.
Right out of Redford High School, she obtained her cosmetology license. This began a successful, rewarding career. Her business mindset led to the opening of her own salon, Imperial Comb by Rita, established 1969. Here, she developed strong relationships with her beauticians and clientele, which stayed with her for over 30 years.
Real estate was in her blood. She was raised in a family that bought, sold, and built many homes. She obtained her real estate license in 1983 and retired in 2015. Her diligent work ethics sparked the creation of Land & Lake Realty. Her drive, witty personality, and ever-present cheerfulness was special and unique. Embracing her fun-loving self, clients gravitated towards her. She was well known in the area and highly respected by colleagues.
Rita had a zest for life, a deep passion for family, and a joyful spirit. Rita embodied laughter and fun. Her legacy lives on through the ones she loved most. She enjoyed traveling and telling stories about her experiences. Some of her favorite vacations included Islamorada in the Florida Keys, several cruises, Italy, Spain, and Hawaii.
