“Rita was one of the kindest women I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Years ago she hired me at CORE. She spent countless times circling the building, connecting with her staff, the individuals there and never without a cheerful smile and her most magnificent accent. She was a woman with such class, elegance, compassion and joy. I recently ran into Rita where I let her know how happy for her that I was she was in retirement and she told me that she was planning a trip away. Rest well♥️”
