She had a passion and talent for interior decorating, and gardening. Rita loved cooking, sewing, RV camping, and fishing with her hubby, together they were always ready and planning their next adventure. For over 25 years Rita enjoyed her career in glass and millwork which allowed her to touch on her passion for design and decorating. When Carl announced his retirement 13 years ago Rita said me too, and thus began their next adventure. In search of sunshine, the couple finally settled in Yuma, Arizona where Rita called home for the last 6 years. Rita is remembered lovingly by her mother Betty Rost; husband Carl; brother Wayne (Debbie); Sisters Rhonda Johnson (Mark) and Lori McChesney; Three children Ryan, Gina Worden (Eric), and Tami Alameda (James) in addition to 7 grandchildren.
