    To Rita's family amd loved ones: I was sorry to read of Rita's passing. Years ago, I worked with her at Harts (Big Bear). She was always friendly and a very good worker. Even when we no longer worked there, I would run into her every few years and it was always nice catching up with her. She had a very positive vibe. You have my deepest condolences on your loss. May Rita rest in peace.

    Rita was such a wonderful addition to the Campbell Family when my uncle married her. Their life together was special and their love was obvious to everyone who knew them. I was one of the many, many people fortunate enough to enjoy her delicious meals and I'll never forget all those cookies! Rest in peace Aunt Rita.💜
