What wonderful memories you have of your Mother. She was indeed a remarkable woman. I had only met her a few times and she always had a smile on her face and always seemed to be happy. I met her through her sister, Mary Terry. Mary plays on the same softball team as me and she always spoke very highly of her sister Rita. So over the years, Mary has talked to me about Rita's condition and I have kept up with her. Mary thought the world of Rita and was always there to help her in any way that she could. Mary is really going to miss her, but she also knows that Rita has no more suffering and is in a much better place than us. Heaven needed another angel and the Lord chose Rita, so she is happy and walking the streets of gold. You will miss her dearly, but think of all the good memories you have of you and her!! Especially Mary too. I know what it's like to lose a sister, I have lost 2 in my family and think of them every day. My heart goes out to you and all the rest of her family.

Mema was always my idol. She was the most beautiful person inside and out. She did everything she could for her grandbabies and children. Before she passed on one of the last things she ever said to me was, "Get me up so we can have a Mema-Doodle day.". Well Mema everyday will always be a Mema-Doodle day cause you will always be in my heart and on my mind with everything I do. I love and miss you so much !!!

Rita was so many things to so many people that it is very easy to remember how she demonstrated love to all of us through out her lifetime. To my children, she was both a loving and dotting aunt. Always making them feel loved and special. Rita was an expert at developing a strong of sense of family. When I think of Rita, I see her always nicely dressed, perfect make-up, and never angry. If she got angry and I'm sure that she did, she never let us see it. Always "The Peacemaker, "The Family Diplomat", and "The Quiet Leader" whom we all respected and loved.
To me, personally, she was more than just my husband's oldest sister or a sister-in-law. I saw her as a second mother. She gave me advice without words. She showed me by example how I should treat children and how to "mother" without wanting to be "perfect", but loving and available. Being available was one of Rita's hallmarks! She was available to me from the moment I first arrived to the Warren family thirty (30) years ago until always... Rita knew, and I believe still knows how to fill a void in people's lives, especially in my life. As I said, Rita's forte was to love and be family to all of us.
If I were to attempt to describe this woman with one word, I would choose to use the word "love". Rita loved her husband and her family unconditionally always. "No one is perfect" you could hear her say a lot, especially to the young mothers who worked outside the home. "Just be yourself, be available when you can and keep going..." You see, Rita was a remarkable woman who worked outside the home when her children were just babies, yet she made herself available always. She knew how to "mother". Perfection in "mothering" was never her goal when raising her children, making them feel loved and special was. I learned that from Rita. I'll miss her unspoken advice now that my children are young adults.
It is easy to look back and find material to write about Rita's ability to love, forgive and to make all of us feel special and loved. Rita was always the one seeking to connect all of us through just "being a good family" in Rita's way. From weddings, pregnancies, birthdays, school graduations, retirement ceremonies and family reunions down to yes...funerals, Rita's presence was the glue to all of these events. She was the forever "Peacemaker" and "Family Diplomat" and she still is...Today, heavens is a better place because one of God's creation just arrived!

Beautiful words Tammy! That is how I remember Rita too! She always looked so together!!!! She was aunt and grandmother to Jenny and OMG did she love my daughter! She loved my daughter many many times better than I did!! Rita was so many things to many people that it is easy to find material to describe how beautiful of human being she truly was. We'll miss her.

My mom was one of those rare women that really are as beautiful on the inside as the outside. I remember looking at her as a child and wondering how she woke up with her hair perfect! I don't think I have ever seen her hair messed up, or skin blemished, or anything wrong with her, to me she was always perfect. As I got older, and made a few mistakes along the way both as a woman and a mom, I often wondered how she always stayed so perfect and dealt with such unperfect people such as my dad, sister, brother, and I. Through 2 times in Vietnam, moving every few years, his glorious temper, she always loved and supported my father as only a women that loved unconditionally could do! Then I think back about all of the mistakes and mean little things that I did such as; the time I wanted to see what 4o9 tasted like, which I squirted into her tea, which she quickly drank and chased me around the house, the time we caught her kitchen on fire, when we ate all the candy bars that we were suppose to sale, my brother throwing a snake at her, digging a hole in the cold weather and filling it with mud and letting my brother get stuck and my dad having to dig him out, speeding tickets, wrecked cars, divorce, through it all she was our rock, the only true consistent person that never judged, and only offered advice when you asked!
As A mom, one time Summer fell and said she broke her wrist, I waited a day to take her to the doctor, and when I did it was broke! My mom was there with me and I remember telling her I was a horrible mom, and she told me then that all moms make mistakes, I said all but you! She told me a story about when I was little I had this crazy curly hair, and ran around and could not be still, she said that she used to spend hours blowdrying my hair straight so that it would look like the other little girls, and she would almost be in tears because I could not sit still and play with dolls like the other girls, she said I was miserable and she was miserable, one day her mother was visiting, and my grandmother, Frances Warren, told her to let me be exactly who I was, let my hair be curly, let me run around, but teach me that there are certain times that i had to be still and behave. My grandmothers advice must have worked because from that day on my mother always let all three of us grow up to be exactly whom we are, and it takes a very special mother, not to judge, but to always offer help, support, and advice when it is asked for. Like I said she was our ROCK!
I think if there are any words to describe her kind would have to be the word that most described her. There are so many special times that we shared that I never appreciated until I was an adult. When I was 12 I wanted to start wearing make-up, and she took me to Belk's, and set me up with an Estee-Lauder consultant, and bought me over $100 worth of make-up, well that was a lot of money in the 80's, especially when I knew that she would never spend that much on make up for herself, I know it sounds silly, but when I got older I realized how much she always sacrificed for us! She always put us kids and our needs before hers, in fact both of my parents were that way! Another time, I was shopping for a dress for my senior prom, and I found this gorgeous dress that was way over my budget, but my mom told me to try it on, I walked out of the dressing room and about 4 other girls wanted to try it on, she told them the dress was taken, she put it on layaway, and I am pretty sure she had no extras for herself during that month, because it meant so much to her that I had the perfect prom dress!! I can honestly say, she always did what she could to make us feel special and loved.
With all of that kindness, honesty, and love, she was also blessed with being absolutely beautiful!! I remember her coaching me in cheerleading when I was young and at the banquet they called her name as the trophy and she went to pick up the trophy and all the boys whistled, my friends always telling me my mom was gorgeous, my dads brothers telling me they used to love for her

Mrs. Rita always allowed me to visit her house when i was in HS. I really liked this lady, because even though she knew i knew about all the parties Tammy would throw. She would still allow me to show my partner in crime face around her house. She would never say anything, but the stare right thru you look, would make you tell on yourself.
