Steve and family–we were so sad to hear of Rita’s passing. She was a great lady and we will miss her cheery greetings and ever present smile. We know she was loved and love back fully. Memories of Rita will help you in the days ahead.
Love always, Lorraine and Dave
Steve, Brenda and family,
Diane and I were so saddened to learn of Rita’s passing. She and Louis were among the first people I met upon moving to Kelowna and I enjoyed every bit of time we spent together. My best wishes to the family at this difficult time.

I can’t believe Rita, your Mom, is no longer with us! She was one of those people just like your Dad that you thought would never leave us or they’d always live in that house across the street.
My heart goes out to you Sue, Cheryl and Steve.
I remember the New Year’s Parties so vividly when Cheryl and I used to join in with everyone in the rumpus room having a good time. Your Dad would win at doing the limbo and your Mom was would play the piano. We would sing a long!!! Mom and Dad and all the friends and neighbours would join in the party. We have all of that on video by the way.
Or Mom and Dad would go over to your place on Christmas Eve and come home late before hiding Ken’s and my presents under the tree.
I miss them both!
Sending love to all of you!!! xoxoxox
We are so sad to hear of Rita’s passing. We had the pleasure of knowing both Lou and Rita for many years as their next door neighbours. And though Rita will be sorely missed, she will not be forgotten.
To Rita’s family I want to send my sincerest condolences. I was Ladies Club Captain at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club for 2 years and Rita offered to help and did help me many times. She was kind and cared so much for our club. It was my pleasure to have known her, as she was a very nice and caring woman. In previous years I know that Rita shared her service for the Ladies at our club and it was much appreciated. I know her family was proud of the woman she was.
