Rita, born November 14, 1953, in Detroit, MI, was the fourth child of Alfonso F. Fraquelli and Helen A. McGarry Fraquelli, who preceded her in death.
She leaves behind a loving family that she was very proud of. Rita was world-renowned for her lack of patience, not holding back her opinion and a knack for telling it like it is. She always told you the truth even if it wasn’t what you wanted to hear.
She loved to bake; the family always looked forward to receiving her annual bake goods every Christmas. She kept an immaculate house, was highly skilled with knitting needles, crochet hooks, and was a talented seamstress.
Rita was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as a grandmother. She had a vivacious personality and always made people around her laugh. She made friends everywhere she went.
She is the loving & devoted mother of David J Reo (Trinette) and Mark A Reo. Grandmother of Alexis Reo, Ashley Vega (Noel), Patience Reo, Kody Reo, Kasey Reo, and D’ Marco Reo. Great grandmother of Mason Cox and Emma Cox.
All whom loved her dearly will never forget her tenacity, wit, charm, grace (when pertinent) and undying love and caring for them.
She is survived by her siblings John Fraquelli, Mary Kline (Jim), Dorothy Fraquelli (Art Campbell), Cecile Miller (Brian), Raymond Fraquelli (Barbara), Steven Fraquelli, and James Fraquelli (Gianna Fierro).
