Born on August 25th 1933, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Mary (Arlia) Pate and the wife of the late William Pace.
Rita was known for her quiet yet spunky demeanor as well as her fierce love for her family, and her high heeled shoes. Rita worked in the jewelry industry from the time she was 14 until her retirement at the age of 80. Rita was the most kind and hospitable woman; she loved to spend her free time cooking and baking for family and friends, and she was an avid Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots fan.
She is survived by her two loving daughters: Denise Sergiacomi and Linda Doorley, as well as her sister Angelina DeLuca, and her brother John Pate. Rita was a beloved grandmother to her four grandchildren: Anthony, Nicholas, Jeannine, and Amanda, and a treasured great grandmother to her great granddaughter Olivia.
