Rita welcomed me into our church in Tacoma (Lakewood), Wa, with an open heart and warm welcome. She was the church organist and wanted me as another friend and organist. That was a most difficult time in my life and she always made me feel whole, talented and gifted. I felt her support and love whenever I had any contact with her. She, herself, was gifted in so many things...writing, journalism, music and performance, and as a mother, wife, friend and companion she was supreme. She was beautiful both inside and outside and in everything she did.
She was a true mentor to many. God bless her memory and her lovely family. 🙏❤️💐🌹
