Rita was a talented seamstress with her operation running out of the upstairs of her family home on Kingston Road.

After almost 65 years of marriage she sadly said goodbye to her husband Michael in 2011.She also lost her son Robert in 2011 (survived by his wife Barb) and granddaughter Thara in 2017.

Rita leaves behind her loving children Paul (wife Gloria), Kathryn (husband Alfred), William, Richard (wife Petra), and Lorna. Her grandchildren, Elishia(husband Scott) and Joshua (wife Michelle) and great grandchildren Zachary, Samuel, Jesslyn, Ella, Ava and Kate.

The family is planning for a service and celebration of Rita's life in the spring at Corpus Christi Church in Toronto. As soon as details are finalized they will be shared with her family and loved ones.

The world lost an amazing woman this week and those of us who knew her all feel so lucky to have had her as part of our lives.
