Remembering Aunt Rita Mae as a woman who possessed outstanding natural elegance and grace.  I will remember; her kindness, the way she chuckled, her good taste and sense of style, quick mind and sharp wit.  I remember her pride in her beloved children and grandchildren and the loving way she attended Gaynan, Grampa and Auntie Laure in their last years. 

I will remember Rita as beautiful in all ways possible.  
I am sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences.


Dear Elizabeth,
I met your Mum when we first moved back to Edmonton in 1970 and into the house in Rio Terrace where I am living still. Rita and I had coffee together many times, and although I remember when the twins were born, I never got to know Julie or Adrien as well as you as of course you and Nancy went to school together and you were here for birthday parties..  Your Mum was a great gal, as was your Dad, and she will be greatly missed, I know.  I saw her last at 
Andy's IGA, and although we hadn't seen each other for years, she was just as warm and friendly as ever.  It is very hard to lose a parent, as my kids also discovered when Peter passed away just  before Christmas in 2018.  My heart goes out to you girls and I wish you all the best.   Judy MacDonald
