Rita was a remarkable woman who took great pride in the many accomplishments and achievements of her beloved family. Rita loved spending time in nature and the outdoors, and especially gardening. Over her lifetime, Rita contributed and participated in many charities and volunteer organizations.

Her grandson Matthew’s publication of his wildlife photography in Canadian Geographic this fall. Rita delighted in her grandson Jeffrey and his wife Krissy’s new baby girl this year, Winni Rita and her great grandson Forest.
