    I will keep a special place in my heart for my cousin, Rita. I was a flower girl in her & Ken’s wedding. I will always remember her as cheerful and vibrant with a winning smile. She was blessed with a wonderful family – she will be missed by all who knew her.

    We knew Rita from the couples golf league at Shore Acres. She & Ken were a couple of our favorites. She was such a nice person & as Trudy Ann said above, she was cheerful & vibrant. Our thoughts are with you on your loss of her & Mary Kay.
