Our mom's life really began when she met Ken as they enjoyed 34 years of marriage together. She was devoted to her Catholic faith and she and Ken enjoyed their Sunday morning Mass together. Rita enjoyed spending time with family, country music, dancing with Ken, boating, and spending time with her 4 close friends she knew for more than 50 years. She always looked forward to the yearly Dill family reunion in Branson, Missouri and the Hudzinski Family reunion in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Mass will be held on April 28, at 11:00 am at Holy Spirt Catholic Church in Maryland Heights, MO. Family and friends can meet at the church at 10:00 am before the Mass for visitation. After Mass, family and close friends will proceed to Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery for burial. Collier's Funeral Home in St. Ann, MO is in charge of arrangements. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the St. Jude's Foundation
