I knew Rita for years through her process serving work. She was an absolute delight of a person and I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing.

I wish her friends, family and loved ones comfort in their shared, fond memories of Rita.

We have known Rita for many years through our mutual employment. Whenever we needed her, she made time for us. She was dedicated to her work and she was always an energetic and a positive person. She was highly intelligent and very innovative and she went the extra mile to get the job done. We will miss dearly seeing our friend Rita bounce up our stairs, dressed in style, always smelling of flowers and always smiling. We send our sincere sympathies to her family. 

I am very saddened to hear of Rita’s passing. She has always been a bright spark with a wonderful energy about her.  I will miss her coming into the office with her cheerful smile and great stories on how she ‘tracked em down”.  I can only imagine how very much she will be missed.   

I was so sorry to hear of rita's passing. I remember her zest for life and getting things done! She loved her family fiercely and would drop everything if she was needed. I missed our friendship in recent years but I can remember her fondly. All my girls still refer to white clothing as ritas!  

A flurry of emotions has been burdening my heart these last few days, many fond memories come to mind. 
I remember the excitement we used to feel before our summer adventures to Kelowna, to meet our Auntie Rita at the lake. 
You would always welcome us with open arms and a big smile on your face, and would always have a present waiting for me and Viola. 
Even though we were far away, I’ve always loved you very much and felt similar to you in some ways. 
I will miss you greatly.  I wish we’d had more time. 
All my love, 
Zoe xx


It’s hard to believe that the last memories I have with Auntie Rita were of 10 years ago, I wish I would have visited her sooner.  
When I think of her, a feeling of warmth comes to mind, there was never a time I didn’t feel loved by Auntie Rita. 
I will always remember that feeling of being Home, whenever we visited her.
I will treasure all the few memories we had together.
A little piece of my dearest family has gone, and she has left a void that will never be filled.
Rest in Peace Auntie Rita, I miss you and I will always miss you.
I wish I could’ve seen you one last time to tell you I love you, as I always have🤍🤍🤍🤍

Crazy that this is the last picture we had together. Although I have seen you many times since, we never think to take pictures.
I spent many of my Spring breaks at your house, attending school with Jennifer. Her and I were unseperatable back then. You always wanted to make sure I was treated fairly and included me as one of your own kids when I came to visit. 
You introduced me to the outlet malls and bargain shopping (thank you) Always being able to dress and have nice stuff, yet not have to spend the price to have name brand stuff. 
We would take Grams to Bingo, laugh, enjoy watching grandma beat us, while you took the time to spend time with us. You always were looking out for me and helping me when you could. I will miss our Fish N Chip dates in Kelowna and our visits we had. I am glad you are not suffering anymore.
RIP Aunty Rita. You will be dearly missed. Say hello to Grandma and Grandpa for me. ❤️❤️❤️ xxxoo

MEMORIES
Growing up..we lived together, we fought, we laughed , we cried.  We shared our dreams, our plans , some schemes and many secrets.  Miss Twiggy!! Imagine I even tried to borrow your clothes.  All the memories we share are part of our bond as sisters.  You are my sister not by choice, but by the nature of our birth. Neither time nor distance will ever change that 
We grew to find that we have a love that is strong even today, through all adversities.  Sisterly love cannot be explained.  I deeply miss you  but know that you will always be a part of me and in my heart.  Hugs and kisses. Yvonne

Rita was a cheerful, trusted, and diligent person who always made our office feel that the job would not only get done, but done in a polite professional manner.  It was always a pleasure to see her.  Our thoughts to her many friends and family.  She will be remembered as long as we have memory.  Jeff and Diana Peterson

￼ Yesterday I heard of the passing of my aunt Rita. It saddens me whenever I hear the loss of anyone but especially a family member. ￼￼￼ My heart goes out to the rest of the family at this difficult time. Its does bring me joy to look back at the last time I was in Kelowna.  She got to meet my husband Ron and we shared and evening with laughter stories and hugs. ￼ So as we all move forward without her.  Im gonna hold onto that last visit as my memory of my aunt Rita￼￼!

Our heartfelt condolences to the entire family. Although we hadn't been close as of late, she was still a much loved sister and I will miss her terribly. Love and hugs to everyone xxx
