We Remember

DAVIDSON, Rita Cassandra

 

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Rita Cassandra Davidson on Sunday, February 22, 2015. Rita will be deeply missed by her partner of 10 years Kevin McLean, her mother Gloria Davidson, her father Jim Davidson, her step-brother Jay, grandmother Vera Klan, aunties Carolyne (Bob) Lewis, Debbie (Gary) White, Lori (Jerome) Zuchotzki, Kelly (John) Zuchotzki and her cousins, her friends and staff of the Dialysis Ward at Kelowna General Hospital.

Rita was born January 30th 1968 in Brandon, Manitoba. She moved to B.C. with her mother when she was three and they settled in Kelowna. After graduation Rita ventured off to New York City where she worked as a nanny. In 1993 she spent time in Winnipeg, studying florist design and taking esthetics training before deciding to return to Kelowna.

Rita lived with diabetes from the tender age of 14. We know she was grateful to her grandmother and all of the on-going care she received from the dialysis nursing staff and doctors who cared for her over the past 35 years.

    It was so upsetting to hear of Rita’s passing, as I did not meet her in person, as she was Kim’s best friend, and when I moved to kelowna three years ago, she was always an inspiration to me while chatting on the phone. Such a beautiful spirit and soul. Her knowledge of herbs and how to help yourself get better. She made me laugh, and her light was always shining brightly. I wish we would have met, but at least I got to chat with her. Our last chat was a month ago, and then a call came that she was in hospital. She was a very strong cookie, and the Angels are wrapping their beautiful wings around her beautiful soul. Fly high, and you are now at peace little one. Love Brenda and thank you for being such a kind and loving person towards me,
