Rita began retouching negatives for Prestige Portraits and fell in love with it naturally. She worked there for many years. She grew up surrounded by creative independent women. After her retirement she started her own business, Glass Act. There she designed and crafted beautiful stained glass art for her community.
In her prime, she regaled her adventures in Europe, always in the company of friends. It was among the most cherished personal experiences of her life. The most important thing to her was the immeasurable love she had for her family. She was feisty, creative, and a bit stubborn, though loved by all who shared her company.
