elevated I3eht Obituary

elevated I3eht Mother of Mary (Russell) and Irene (Carneletto).   Wife of the late Boguslaw (Mac) Klimek.

elevated I3eht Rita was born in Saeby, near Aalborg, Denmark in October of 1926; she was proud of her Danish heritage, even though early life for her had many difficult challenges.

elevated I3eht Rita enjoyed being a homemaker but she also worked as a merchandise clerk at Sayvette, Towers and finally she retired from Zellers. 

elevated I3eht Her interests were sewing, embroidery, knitting, and cooking (danish and polish specialties for my dad) baking – gingerbread men and butter tarts were her specialty – and reading predominantly biographies (stories had to be true!). In her later years she enjoyed living both at Tollendale Village residence in Barrie, and then at Malton Village LTC. She excelled at knitting hats and sweaters for the great-grand babies in our family. She was a cherished Gramma Rita to Michael, (Olivia) Caitlin, (Dave) and Madelaine (Joel). Rita loved her son-in-law Kevin with all her heart.

elevated I3eht She often said that her greatest joy was spending time playing and laughing during weekend visits with her granddaughter Sarah whom she will love forever and after.

elevated I3eht A special thank you to the wonderful and caring Malton Village staff, PSW’s and the nurses who made her final years so much more pleasant, safe and fun.

elevated I3eht Also thank you to Jennifer DaRosa who treated my mom like her own while living at Tollendale Village.

elevated I3eht I will miss my mom every day.
