Rita Kunz Obituary

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBER AS A GOOD FRIEND AND VERY HARD WORKER. YOUR OLD CO- WOKER FROM 'CUBS'.

Rita, I always think of you when I'm watching the Olympics. "you were that good". I remember when you won Gold for us at Hansen Stadium in the high jump. We will never forget you, rest in peace, Holy Family Academy, "class of 62".

So sad to hear about Rita (blue eyes). I'm so glad to have all the memories that I have of her at Skippers Drive in. The best female Figure Skater at Wrightwood Park, rest in peace Rita, Marshfield ave.. Chicago..

You were the greatest sports person ever at Wrightwood Park in 1963

Rita you are gone my dear but you will never be forgotten I will never forget our days at Wrightwood Park an the many nights at my house by the old neighborhood by 2500 n. Ashland and how i always had to do your damn hair (lol) to make you the blond you where it took hours but loved every minute of it cause i always got my pizza when you worked for Joe's Pizza you done a wonderfull job of raising your 2 sons all on your own but someone up in heaven needed u more so may you rest in peace i will always remember you everytime i go pass Ashland ave.an Marshfield too love Kathy Tessner (nee jurasz)

It was heartbreaking to hear about Rita. I will never forget the tribute that her Son gave her at Church, ST. Bonnies, In 1965 Rita Kunz, attempted to raise her two boys, the two boys believe she succeeded, so do we Rita, Holy Family Academy, "class of 62".

I was shocked to hear about Rita. My family will miss her so much. I will never forget that smile and those blue eyes. The best woman athlete ever. Rest in peace Rita... Wrightwood Park.

Was saddened to hear of RJs passing. Have been looking for classmates from St. Bonnies and was informed by Susan Meyer on the SB site that she passed. Haven't seen her in over 50 years but recall her being 'one of the boys' back in the day. A real tomboy. Used to be the first out to the ballfield when we guys were getting up a softball game at recess. Good lil lefty as I recall. Always smilin. One of the few classmates with whom I was hoping to reconnect. Sorry for you loss. B. Kelleher '58 grad class

Rita Kunz was the best kind of mother in law. Rita would take a few buses from Chicago to Alabama everytime A little Kunz was born.
When she got in town. Rita would look for a way to show her love. Like washing the storm windows, painting the house. The rooms in the house also. Wow ! I loved it. Then I'd get out of cooking. Rita would make all her son Troy's Favorite dishes. Night after night. I'll miss the way she made the kids feel. She always made them smile.
Love Mrs. Troy Kunz ( Tisha)
and Kids Shawna,Kayla,Logan,Breanna,Sierra,Blaze.

Rita, I will never forget those blue eyes and that authentic smile. I met your oldest Son and he looks just like you. I love you alway's. Cub's Park..

I remember all the nights me & Rita would stay up drinking coffee and just talking about everything. All she ever talked about was her two Boys. I will never forget Rita. Rest in Peace. George Street, Chicago.

Rita Kunz, was the strongest Woman I ever knew. She did a Fantastic job raising her two boys. They just don't make them like her any more. My family loves her forever.. Wrightwood Park.

I lived across from rita and i moved and our family was so close to her. i saw everyday and when i moved i always dreamed to go visit her....Our prayers are with you.

To The Kunz Family. Was so very surprised and shocked to read about Rita in the Paper. it was to late to make wake/Mass, but wanted the family to know how much she will be missed. We worked together at Wrigley Field ,for many ,many yrs, and kept in touch with phone calls and Xmas cards, but last yr,was first time i didn't hear from her,i wish i had called her now ,instead of sending card. she will be missed by many, we had many laughs together and my family all send their ,prayers to your family. rest in peace Rita, love your old friends and co workers from the south side. Joan ,Val, Donna and Laurie Trentz

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

All her grandchildren are going to miss her so much!

I was so sorry to hear about Rita. We were so close for many years. Our kids were in the same high school. Karen worked with Rita at Wrigley Field a few seasons. Rita and I would party in our younger years while we sang and danced to "G L O R I A ". She was a good person and great cousin. She will be missed. My Sympathy goes out to the family. Love,

Greg,

Thanks for informing me on this. I just returned home from Afghanistan. I saw Rita in passing when I came in to Chicago last visit. She wss having difficulty breathing then. I believe it was recurring pneumonia. Anyway, I am sorry to hear about her passing. There is a lot of history with her.

I was just in Chicago yesterday. I was travelling home from Camp Atterbury for demobilization screening and had to connect at Chicago. My connector was canelled because of maintenance, so I stayed at my sister's for the night and got a seat the next day. I am home now, and trying to get back into the swing.

Give my regards to the Kunz family when you see them, and tell them I wish I could have made the wake to show my respect for Rita.

Take care,

Edmund
