Rita and I moved into Lexington Landing at about the same time back in 2010. We enjoyed many fun card games in the early days. She was a great neighbour and friend. Her family was her pride and joy as she often kept me informed of birthdays and other family gatherings and celebrations. I was saddened to hear of her passing as she had a special place in my heart. My condolences to the family as I know she will be sorely missed. She was a special lady - I will miss her. May she rest in peace knowing that she made the world a better place.

Aunt Rita!!! How sad and such an unexpected event… I named my daughter after Rita - Arran Rita. My father (Uncle Bill to my cousins) adored Rita, his oldest sister. Rita visited as often as she could and always was quick with a laugh and hugs all around. I do hope on or more of my cousins will connect with me through my email to talk about their mom..?? My email is carol.coupland60@gmail.com. I’m living on Vancouver Island these past 10 years in the Comox Valley. My daughter Arran lives close by with my twin grandsons who are now 6 years old. Find memories of my visit to Fredericton and dropping in on Aunt Rita about 14 years ago. We did talk on the phone at least once a year though. Miss you Aunt Rita and love you, Carol
