Hello, I am the Aunt of Julie Toenjes, know Rita and Julie had a special bond, cousins, friends and enduring a cancer. I know they shared their pain and frustrations. I was so happy that she was able to speak at Julie's memorial service. It meant a lot to me and our family. Gods peace be with all of you.
Our prayers go out to the family on the loss of their loved one, Rita. Jeff worked at Golden Dipt with David, Rosie was our sitter, and we belonged to St James Parish. In a small town, these connections make daily interaction the norm. Please accept our heartfelt offering of sympathy for the loss of someone who was passionate, loving, and God fearing. A wonderful daughter, sister, wife and mother.
Ritaaaaaaa I love you! I'm so sad. I'll never forget you. We love you Chad, Angie, Michael, and Courtney. Jeff, Brad, and Max we are here if you need anything!
Rita was a great softball player! She was a member of the slow pitch woman’s team called the Hustler’s. Great fun on and off the diamonds. She will be missed by many! R.I.P. dear friend🙏
