Rita Mary Williams was born in Detroit, Michigan July 24th, 1944. She passed on December 2, 2023, in the Villages, Florida.
Rita worked for Ford Motor Company and retired after 25 years of faithful service. Even in retirement she was a tireless, working at a movie theater, gas station, and cleaning houses. When her brother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s; she always there for him. When her older sister Evelyn Grosh lost her husband Don, she was there everyday to help and care for her. She was loved and cherished by her many friends. She would love playing bunko or table tennis.

Her love and dedication to her family and friends will never be forgotten!
