A Rita le encantaba la costura, viajar, pasar tiempo con los hermanos/hermanas, y las flores. A cada uno de su familia les hizo una colcha especial. Al visitarla siempre se podia encontrar ocupada en la costura en su maquina de cocer. Junto con Jose, pasaban tiempo felices en su jardin plantando muchas flores. Los recuerdos de su familia son de una casa unida de amor, fe, felicidad y su chile verde especial. Rita siempre fue muy hospitalaria y abnegada.

Rita siempre tuvo en mente la importancia de la predicacion. Aun hasta su ultimo mes de vida predico informalmente a los doctores y enfermeras que la cuidaban. Su ultimo suspiro fue durante el "Amen" de una oracion. Su escritura favorita fue: Isaias 41:10 "No tengas miedo, porque estoy contigo. No mires por todos lados, porque soy tu Dios. Yo ciertamente te fortificaré. Yo cierta y verdaderamente te ayudaré. Sí, yo verdaderamente te mantendré firmemente asido con mi diestra de justicia."

Rita Cabrera was born on May 26, 1938 in Santa Rosa Parangueo, Guanajuato (a humble ranch in San Manuel) Mexico. Her smile filled an entire room like sunshine in the morning. Even as young mother, she always instilled an example of fidelity and love the great sovereign God, Jehovah to her eight children. Rita was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses on October 28, 1951, and continued faithful to the end of her humble life.

She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years of marriage, Jose Onofre Cabrera; seven children, Daniel Cabrera, David Cabrera, Nora Dodds, Sara Ortiz, Rebecca Ransom, Maria Elena Romero, and Suzanne R. Gutierrez; eight grandchildren, Sonia E. Escobar, Daniel Cendejas, Ariana A. Sheats, Josiah S. Dodds, Olivia Dodds, Tisriana Ortiz, Joe Ortega, Kristy Ortega; and seven great-grandchildren, Joaquin J. Escobar, J. Julyssa Escobar, Iliana C. Escobar, Briseis Cendejas, Mekhi Dodds, Liam Dodds, Kiera Dodds . She was preceded in death by her daughter, Marta M. Cabrera.

She is also survived by her brothers and sister, Jesus, Eleazar, Everardo, and Hope Arredondo.

Rita loved sewing, traveling, spending time with her brothers & sisters, and flowers. She made each family a special quilt. When you visited, you could always find her busy stitching on a sewing machine. Along with Jose, she spent time happily in her garden, planting many flowers. The memories of her family are a united house of love, faith, happiness, and her special green chile. Rita was always very hospitable and unselfish.

Rita always had in mind the importance of preaching. Even until her last month of life, she preached informally to doctors and nurses who cared for her. Her last breath was during the "Amen" of a sentence. Her favorite scripture was Isaiah 41:10 "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness."
