I met Rita at the Port Neches Library. She was always so helpful in locating a particular book. She greeted you with a smile even on days that were difficult for her. I will miss seeing her on my weekly visit to the library. Prayers of comfort and peace to her family and friends. God Bless You.
My condolences to Rita’s family. She will truly be missed. We’ve worked at AT&T many years together. She had such a kind soul! I had always remember her telling me that we were cousins from my Dad side?(the Moreno side)
I can not believe you have left us.. but only god knows why.. you well be miss May you Rest In Peace
Deepest condolences to Rita’s family. I know she will be missed.
We worked together at AT&T for many years. Our children were born a couple if months apart. Four co-workers became friends over a shared lunch hour.
I remember one conversation that she shared about her admiration of John Cenna ( the wrestler). Good times at the lunch table.
It was an honor to have known Rita.
