Rita Marie Beck passed away on November 5, 2023, at the age of 73 in Thousand Oaks, California. She was born on August 4, 1950, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but grew up in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Ohio before moving to California. Rita was the oldest of four children and is survived by her two brothers Joe and Greg and sister, Helen. She graduated from Ramona High School in Riverside, California.
After working at the Riverside Sears for several years, she transferred to the Sears store at the Janns Marketplace in 1979, and made Thousand Oaks her home for the next 40 years.
Rita enjoyed exploring nature with her brother Joe, who often took her all over Ventura County to go hiking or bird watching. One of their favorite past times was watching the eagles hatch and fly from their nests at Lake Casitas.
Rita was a kind-hearted and generous person, always willing to share whatever she had—whether it was a little or a lot. Her selfless nature touched the lives of all those around her and left a lasting impact on her family.
A beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Rita will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of those she left behind, but her spirit will continue to live on through the memories of those of us who loved her.
