I knew Rita at Point Pleasant Heights and Isabelles House. Always so pleasant to me. To the family I’m very sorry for her passing she was a great friend.
Colleen, Tom and Dan,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss. Rita was so kind and gentle. When I think of Rita, I think of her kindness to everyone. She always had a smile and good word for someone and/or something. Rita, was indeed a special person and I feel honoured to have known her.
My deepest condolences to all of you.
I worked with Rita for many years at Revenue.
She always had a smile on her bright, shining face and was one of the kindest, most gentle souls I have ever known.
Rita is the most kind, generous and loving person I have known. I worked with her for many years at Revenue and she always had a smile to greet you each day (often with some tasty homemade treats!). I cherish the many laughs we had together. She loved and was so proud of her family. May your memories comfort you in the days to come.
Rita, such a wonderful, sweet person! Rita and I shared the same birthday. I remember my first day of work in the same section as Rita, she brought MD a red rose from her garden! What a good soul, kind person. May her memory keep her close to you. I will always remember her. Thinking and praying for the family.
To the Rita Hale family
Bless her beautiful soul and spirit. She encouraged me through many challenges at Revenue. I am for ever grateful for the gift of knowing her smile and gentleness.
Dear Hale Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom Rita. I worked with Rita at Revenue and she was such a wonderful, kind, hardworking person. Such a sweet humble person. My prayers and sympathy to your family.
Colleen, Tom and Dan, Our sincere sympathy in your loss. Your mom was a sweetheart. Thoroughly enjoyed working with her at St Jerome School. Barb and Bob Cox
Dear Hale Family,
Sweet Rita always had a smile and the bright side shone from her face. She loved you all very much she told me so when I would visit with her..May her peace bring you all peace as we say good bye and she joins Leroy in heaven.
Colleen, Tom, and Danny,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. She always had such a sweet and kind disposition and was always so kind and friendly.
May the Lord embrace her in his loving arms!
Thinking of all of you!
Dearest Tom and Hale family, your mom was a sweet, kind woman. I knew her from revenue and park side. She is celebrating now with your dad. God bless all of you at this sad time.
The Hale Family,
Memories of Rita…where do I start. I loved her from the day we met in December 1977. Rita was a second Mom to my daughter Sara and our families became one.
Time has passed from our days on Bellwood and we all moved on with our lives in different directions, but my love for the Hale Family (Leroy, Rita, Colleen, Tom & Dan) never waned. I love you all from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
Pam Leier
