Rita was born on October 23, 1931 in Ghent, Minnesota to the late Philip Louis Regnier and Maude Mary DePover Regnier. She and her late husband, Walter Leon Truitt, Sr. lived all over in their earlier years before finally settling and establishing roots here in Columbus. Rita was an active member of St. Anne’s Catholic Church and Mohina Woods Garden Club where she was Secretary of the garden club. She was an avid Atlanta Braves Fan and big supporter of the PAWS Humane Program of Columbus. She also volunteered around Columbus at a variety of charitable organizations.
