In her younger years Rita enjoyed bowling, fishing, hunting, skiing, motorcycle riding, and just being outdoors. Traveling with Rita was always energetic and adventurous; one of her most favorite destinations was Hawaii. She loved family get-togethers. She always loved and treated her family members as if they were her one and only favorite. She had a heart that was full of love and compassion for anyone she crossed. She had a smile that would light up the room followed by a contagious laugh that was full of life. Rita will be remembered for her vivacious spirit, her zest for life, and her love that she gave to others.
