Rita Marty

Rita was a wonderful person and I very much enjoyed working with her. My thoughts are with her family!

I remember when she was about 15 and we were about 9. She had these little feet and was still wearing children's shoes. I thought that was so cool that she got to wear those adorable little girl shoes. No one can know the pain she endured with her arthritis and other ailments through her life. May she finally be pain free and reunited with her parents and brother, John.

When I think of current day saints I think of Rita. She suffered so much and yet positive and happy in spite of all her pain and loss. I have no doubt she had an easy, pain free walk right up to the pearly gate. Many wonderful childhood memories playing with Rita. My sincere sympathy to Angie, Karen, Debby, Fred and your families at this time of great loss. Rita was simply the best.

Rita was an inspiration to all of us who knew her. A family friend all our lives. She is finally out of pain and has a well deserved home in heaven. Hugs to all of you.

I've been playing music at Lafayette County Manor for around ten years now, and Rita would always come and listen and chat a bit. She always had a smile and you never knew how much difficulty she might have been going through at the moment. My condolences to your family, I'm sure she will be greatly missed.
