Rita will become a saint for the care she gave her brothers for their entire lives. I searched and found her in 2012 after the death of my father and her uncle. We talked on the phone exchanges some family pictures and planned on meeting. I did not know she died until our cousin Noreen died and I tried to notify her. She dedicated her life to her siblings as her parents could not care for them. Dear Jesus please shine that perpetual light on her and give her rest until you come to raise her.

We were unaware of the passing of Rita. We are so very sorry for your loss. Rita was one of my mother Lucille Foley's dearest friends and she was also Godmother to my bother Jim. We offer our deepest condolences. Rita will be missed by our entire family.
