My condolences to the Family and many Friends of Rita. What a special lady.She helped so many District 228 students and staff treating all with compassion and kindness.I have so many fond memories working with Rita.

A beautiful and wonderful part of the family of the first graduating class of OFHS. Thank you. --Tom Donohue OFHS '74

The world has lost a wonderful person. I will always remember Rita Ulrich as a compassionate woman who was a pleasure to be around. I spent a lot of time in her office after gym classes, when I would exercise too hard and have asthma attacks. She was always able to calm me down and get me cheerful and breathing normally. She was a great nurse and a great human being. Sincere condolences to the family.

My condolences to the family members. District 228 has had a history of excellent nurses and excellent nursing services during its history. Rita was one of these fine professionals who provided great services to students. I had the pleasure and privilege of working with Rita when I was at Oak Forest and when I served at the administration center. In addition, Rita was also a person who displayed a positive attitude and good humor whenever we met and talked. The world today has too few people with this quality. She will be missed by all of us who knew her.

I was a student at OFHS and I remember how kind and compassionate she was. A very sweet lady. I'm sure she will be missed. My deepest condolences.

You were so important to me through my high school years. Rest in peace Rita class of 85 thanks you for being there for us.

Always in our hearts!

I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. She will be remembered for all of her caring words, and sweet gestures. Condolences from our family to yours.

Of all the people I remember and respect greatly, none are higher on my list that Rita Ulrich. She was a wonderful nurse , person, and friend to students and staff alike at Oak Forest High School. Rest in peace Rita, and my condolences to the entire family.

I remember Mrs Ulrich still today. She was a great school nurse, and I knew I could always go to her. RIP Mrs Ulrich and condolences to the family. Rachel Kemetick Franson, Class of 1984 OFHS

Funny, after 25 years out of high school, Mrs. Ulrich came to mind a few months ago....what a sweet lady. Condolences to her family.

Class Of 1985 at Oak Forest High School will always remember Nurse Ulrich...may she rest in peace...and condolences go out to the family as well....

Rita was one of the most dedicated and caring people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. Whether it was monitoring a union grievance, dealing with the health needs of our students and faculty, or participating in a faculty social event, Rita was always well respected, fun to be around and a true credit to her profession. All of us at OFHS were well served by her GENUINE caring nature.

You have our deepest sympathy. Your mother was a great friend and colleague to me. We spent just about every Wednesday together for 14 years. I loved talking with her and even though I've moved to Florida I knew that I could call her anytime. She will be missed. You had a wonderful and special mother who loved her family very much.

Rita was a caring compassionate nurse who the students turned to. She had a big heart and a ready smile. My sympathy to her family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Rita was such a sweet and caring lady.

My sympathies to Rita's family. She was the true professional to work with at OFHS.

I worked with Rita beginning in 1992. She was an amazing person with a big heart. Rita was a great nurse, very kind with the kids. She never wanted to leave her office at lunch, she was so dedicated. Her sense of humor was infectious. I never heard her say anything bad about anybody. She loved her profession & the people she worked with. They assigned me to be her lunch replacement each day so she could get out for an hour. We laughed because it was easier to get another person named Rita, so the kids wouldn't get confused with another name. She was missed when she retired, but I was happy for her to be able to enjoy life & travel. I was able to go out a few times with her to plays & dinner. She was a "hoot". Heaven has indeed welcomed a new angel. Love you Rita.

Prays to the family of Rita.

Deepest condolences to Rita's family--she was a strong, independent, intelligent, compassionate woman. She was an amazing nurse at OFHS, but what I will remember was her sense of humor. Prayers and condolences--

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of Rita. She was a grand lady and a great nurse at Oak Forest High School.
