They purchased a home outside of Somerset Wisconsin and six children were born to this union: Cheryl, Dennis, Theresa, Ruth, Brenda and Lynne.

Rita loved time with family – especially her children and grandchildren. Her faith was strong and she was very involved member at St. Joesph’s, Assumption Virgin Mary and St. Anne’s Catholic Churches. She also enjoyed mowing lawn, playing cards and bowling. Through the years her participation in these activities declined, but her love of family and faith did not. Rita will be missed by many.
