Rita was a devoted wife and mother. She stressed to her 6 daughters the importance of an education and becoming self-sufficient, independent thinkers. She was also a partner in the family business, Ebony Interiors, Inc. She had a creative flair about her and loved her dogs. She got Billy, a Maltese, as a pet, but was encouraged to show him. To her delight, she (they) won! From that point on she began a new venture showing dogs. Wednesday, her cocker spaniel, and Tuesday, her Kerry Blue terrier both went on to win titles.
