Rita lived in Douglas, Arizona, for the majority of her life and was very involved in parish life at the Immaculate Conception Church.

She is also survived by her twelve grandchildren, three great-grandchildren as well as numerous nephews, nieces and friends, and cherished caregiver, Silvia Reyes.
The lord Jesus was the center of her being, he graced and sustained her as she met life's rewards and challenges. Rita was an angel and a generous friend to countless people. Many who met her felt as if they had known her forever.
