I had the pleasure of working with Rita for ten years at Genesee Memorial Hospital. She was in charge of the Medical Records Department and did a terrific job in a highly stressful environment. I never saw her upset or angry, a smile was her constant companion. She was not to be taken lightly. I remember one day a tall man from administration started debating the merits of a patient record issue. She interrupted him and said, "Wait right there and don't move." She then went to her office and carried a chair into the hallway, stood on it, looked him in the eye and said "Now, what is the problem?" She and her wonderful husband Louis were always gracious and cordial. A great family. I can picture Louis and Rita smiling radiantly as they dance to her favorite song "Spanish Eyes" in that kingdom yet to come.
