In addition, she also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. Rita also wanted to acknowledge several special friends who have been a positive part of her life and brought much joy.
Prior to her 18 years as an employee of IBM where she worked in the cafeteria in Endicott, Rita attended hairdressing school and always wished to pursue her hairdressing career at some point later in life. However, three young children and a husband who traveled frequently for work, her position at IBM became her new career which she enjoyed very much. Both Rita and her husband were active members of The Church of the Holy Family. Rita’s Family would like to especially acknowledge and thank all the employees and volunteers at the Mercy House of the Southern Tier for the patience, kindness, wonderful care, and love given to our mother and all her family, and to Lourdes Hospice for all the support provided to the family.
