Thoughts and prayers for Rita and her family…
On behalf of the entire Curran family, I would like to offer our sincerest sympathy at the loss of Rita. Rita always told it like it was, and made us laugh with her thoughts and comments. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren! She constantly let me know how everyone was doing. It was a pleasure knowing her, and she will definitely be missed. May you find peace and comfort in the fact that Rita is now with her Heavenly Father in all her splendor.
Our prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. Our deepest sympathy.
Rita always had a laugh and a smile for you wherever you saw here. We lived on the same street for years, and I remember her helping deliver the ads for the paper on her bike. She was always helpful at whatever job she did.
Our deepest sympathy…

I had the privilege of being Rita’s G/M-HBC counselor for many years while she worked for Hinky Dinky and I grew to love her an value her friendship. She always had a smile and a quick sense of humor. She spoke of her family a lot and the fun things you did. I know the Lord has welcomed her with open arms and a smile. She will be remembered with pleasant memories. God Bless You as you go forth.
Deb I’m really sorry for your loss, I’ve only known Rita for about 1 year, I worked with her in the kitchen up at the wahoo high school and I will never forget her words, sometimes I will try to say something and she ask me ” what’s your problem?” and than she would tell me ” quit your complaining” most of her words moved me. She was my friend and a good co worker. You and your family are in my prayers, I am really sorry and I am really glad I knew Rita she was that kind of person to always look up to. Take care Deb and Doug. Rita was an amazing person, when I worked with her she had nothing but that smile I loved seeing every time I come to work, that’s one trait I’m going to miss about her. I loved her as a friend and co worker. She will never be forgotten. I wish you a great night and you and your family are in my prayers.
I am so sorry we are not able to with the family at this time. We live out of state for the winter. We all loved Rita. And will. Remember. Many good. Times. Our sympathy to all. The. Family.
