She was a member of the Immaculate Conception Parish where she was a lifelong member of the church choir. She loved a good game of euchre and loved nothing more than when her kids & grandkids would fill the house; the laughter shared was music to her ears. Rita Jane enjoyed vacationing in the Black Hills & Yellowstone, but her most cherished vacations were spent with her family and friends in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. She also enjoyed baking and cooking for her family, a tradition she passed on to her children and grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.
