Rita was a Special Lady! She would give you her last of anything she had! She was funny and a caring woman! R.I.P Mrs. Rita!!!
Donations can be made in her name to The Samaritan Center at Voorhees.
There are so many memories. Some of my best childhood memories were spent around her kitchen table, eating and laughing. She made sure you never left hungry even if you weren't hungry! She made anyone who came through her door feel welcomed and special even if she just met you for the first time. The more the merrier was never more true in her world. I remember many times the house was full of kids running and playing and just being kids but she never complained,,,she seemed to thrive on it. The Calendo house was the place everyone in the neighborhood went to!
My sympathies to John, Kim and Dawn. Your lives may never be the same but you will always have the memories of her to help you through the tough times. She was truly someone special and am happy that I was lucky enough to have known her for over 40 years.
Heaven definitely gained an angel but wished it had waited just a little while longer for her.
Rest In Peace Rita!!!!
Love,
Mary Z.
