Our condolences from two of Rita's Viroqua 1961 classmates. Her obituary tells a lot about Rita that otherwise we would not have known. Her care for others will be our remembrance of her. God speed Rita.

My sympathy to Rita's family. I worked with Rita at Rolling Hills and her sister Jerry was there when I first started. Rita was upbeat and if I recall we maybe attended a couple of the same classes at WWTC. She was always a compassionate CNA and I'm sure she was a caring and efficient nurse. I'm saddened by the fact that she had Alzheimers. I pray your memories keep your heart smiling. Again, so sorry for your loss.
