Rita was a very sweet lady. She was a classy lady. Gene & Kim Mudd
Rita was a beautiful person who positively impacted so many people. She gave such wonderful caring advice to all who wanted it and so many who NEEDED it during her time at City Hall. As one grateful City employee, I thank her (too late) and thank you, her family, for sharing her with us for all those years. RIP Rita!
