She was very happy there and enjoyed being able to help and advise many students. Rita also liked to be active and involved in the community and was an enthusiastic and popular member of Oakley Bowling Club for 30 years and a member of the Soroptimists. Her top priority, however, was always her family, for she was a very loving and thoughtful mother and grandmother who never forgot birthdays and other anniversaries. Rita was a very special person who brought joy .into many lives and she will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Lovely lady, had a wonderful smile that would light up the room. Rita was always interested and engaged to hear about what I and my children was doing. Remember my mum and rita always enjoying each other's company when she visited our house. My condolences to her family. Michael (Jean Butchers) son
