Hija de Cecilio Reyes y Sofía Velásquez

Rita García, una querida madre, abuela y bisabuela, cuya calidez y amor marcaron la vida de todos quienes la conocieron. A Rita le sobreviven con cariño sus hijos: Juan, César, Maricela y Rafael. Le precedió en la muerte su querido hijo, Pedrito.

Fue una abuela devota de Sofía, Yamile, Juan, Maritza, Jazmín, Lucía, Christopher, Liliana, Even, Joshua, Jacob y Joaquín. Uno de sus mayores actos de amor fue criar a sus nietos Sofía, Yamille y Juan, y cuidar de sus sobrinas, Delia y Laura, y de sus sobrinos Javier y Arturo como si fueran suyos, llenándolos de un cariño inquebrantable y amor incondicional.

Rita también tuvo la bendición de ser bisabuela de Oscar, Izzac, Arianna, Mateo, Elayna, Celeste, Alejandro, Emiliano, Alicia y Penélope. Sin embargo, era la hermana mayor y la sobreviviente de Consuelo, Juanita y Salud. Le precedieron en la muerte sus hermanos Clarita, Ramón y Santiago.

Disfrutó de muchos pasatiempos a lo largo de su vida, incluyendo la oración, la costura, la jardinería y el canto. Era una excelente cocinera, especialmente conocida por sus adorados sándwiches de ensalada de pollo.

Conocida por su espíritu cálido y amigable, nunca conoció a un extraño; su carácter amable y personalidad alegre la ayudaron a hacer amigos dondequiera que iba. Su amor, fortaleza y bondad vivirán para siempre en los corazones de su familia y amigos. La extrañaremos profundamente y la recordaremos por siempre por su espíritu carismático, su dedicación a su familia y su devoción a Dios, nuestro Padre Celestial.
