Rita was a lovely Italian lady who never lost her New York accent. She was a great cook in her younger years. A good day for Rita was visiting with family and friends where she was always laughing and was the center of attention. Her favorite saying was, Someday my banana boat will come in. Rita was a woman of many loves; including her family, her church and her savior. Rita is home, and it is more beautiful with her there.
