Rita Wright

Jan 15, 2020

Sept 4th, 1952 to January 5th, 2020

It is with loving hearts that the family of Rita Wright (nee Houle) “The Duchess” announce her peaceful passing on January 5th, 2020 on a bright and sunny Sunday morning, surrounded by her devoted family and God’s love. Rita courageously battled Multiple Sclerosis for 44 years (and later cancer) with the grace, resilience and strength that she was know for all her life. Rita will be sadly missed by her devoted and adoring husband Gordon of 49 years, who cared for and loved her dearly and who describe their life together as “magical and blessed”. Rita will be deeply missed by her loving children Emilie and Timothy, her daughter in law Natasha and adoring grandchildren, Madison and Harrison. Rita will also be fondly remembered by her sisters and brothers, especially her sister Claudette (Michel) Gauvreau and her sister in law Linda Roy, as well as her many loving nieces and nephews. Anyone who was privileged to have known Rita were blessed by her quick wit, beautiful smile and engaging sense of humour. Rita lived a full life and was loved dearly by everyone who knew her. Her spirit will live on in all of us at the lake. Rita’s beautiful life will be celebrated in the summer on the Kennebec lake. All are welcome. “PSALM 23 - The Lord’s Prayer”
