Condolences for

I worked with Rita at the V.A.; Tomah, WI. Rita was an efficient and detailed R.N.; a professional I would want to care for my own loved ones. Rita was a strong patient advocate and highly respected by many of her co-workers. Please take comfort knowing that she was one of the best in her field. May God Bless you and yours. Sincerely, Lin Ellinghuysen, R.N. -and- President of American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Local 0007 AFL-CIO Union.

Kim and family, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I know this has been very hard for you and your family. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

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.

Thinking of all of you.This is not easy,but neither were the last ten years. Jack,if you ever want to talk,call me. Mary

My deepest sympathy to all of you in the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother and sibling. Rita was a beautiful woman and her love will live on in each of you.Sending hugs

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.

Our love, prayers & sympathy to Jack, Kim, Sherry, Joel & family. I have many great memories of Easter & other holidays & family events over the years with you & Rita. She was a fun loving person & she will be missed!

Sorry for your loss.
