Rita stood out. Her spirit was as vivacious as it was kind. Her smile was infectious – everyone was her friend. She brought us so much joy. She made us laugh. She made everyone she met feel special and loved and precious. Music was ingrained in her very being. Rita had a remarkable ability to play the accordion, harmonica and organ. She was the first to step on the dancefloor and the last to leave. She was beautiful. She was ours.

In her last days, she was surrounded by her family who embraced her with so much love and care.

Left to mourn are her beloved children Kerry (Scott), Jenny, Susan (Timmy), and Gerry (Amy); her precious grandchildren Karli, Aaron, Michael, Jane, Heidi, Reece, and Ryder; the father of her children Gerald Chaytor, sisters Marina Sparkes (Ephraim) and Melva Whitten (David deceased); brother Donald Roberts; special nieces and nephews, cousins and so many close friends.
