Rita was a beautiful person inside and out. Her warm smile and big heart welcomed you and gave you the feeling that her friendship would be strong and lasting. Freddie and Imogene loved visiting with “Curly” and Rita and spent many hours laughing and talking and making great memories through the years. Rita is with Curly, the love of her life for Christmas, although she will be missed by family and friends, what a wonderful gift she has been for us all. Love, Darlene Holterman
