Rita Lorraine Ingersoll passed away on July 8th, 2020. She was born in Quincy, California on September 30, 1951 and grew up in Norwalk and Long Beach, CA. She graduated from Wilson High School in 1969.
Rita loved to cook and feed people. She was always jotting down recipes on random pieces of paper. She enjoyed reading and would share cozy mystery book collection with family and friends.
Family and friends were the center of her life. She worked at Cal State Fullerton in the Student Financial Services department and was the office “mom”. She was always supportive of those she cared about, and those were many.
She is survived by her daughter Sandra Cella (Vincent); daughter Wendy MacPherson (Ryan); son Michael Ortiz (Kim); sister Karen Denneson (Carl); sister Heidi Plunkett (Mike); grandchildren Jordan Cella, Dominic Cella, Evelyn MacPherson, Katherine MacPherson, Julianna Mac Pherson, Clara MacPherson, Vivian Mac Pherson, , Robert MacPherson, Trenton MacPherson; niece Tammy Jimenez; nephews, Carl Denneson, Jeff Plunkett and Greg Plunkett.
Her magical laugh and boundless love will be missed by all.
