On Friday, September 18, 1931, Earl and Margaret Walsh welcomed a beautiful baby girl named Rita into the world in Mount Savage, MD. She then grew up and added the titles of wife, mother, grandmother, and was honored as a great grandmother just this year. Family was the foundation of Rita’s life and her pride and joy. Her fondest moments were those spent with family and friends near and dear to her at family cookouts or annual Christmas parties. Traveling, bowling, and cooking were just a few hobbies she enjoyed when she wasn’t busy attending all her grandchildren’s school events and activities. Rita retired from AT&T as a telephone operator. She was a dedicated member of St. William of York Church, volunteering for many committees and community activities. Rita also enjoyed giving what spare time she had to various other organizations and others in their time of need.
