Rita was a hard worker and held down several jobs, all the while raising her large family. She was a long-time member of St. Gabriel Parish in Neenah. Rita enjoyed doing crafts, cooking and baking, and cherished time spent with her beloved family which she was so proud of. Rita would spend all year making sure that she had hand-made gifts for her family by Christmas. She will be remembered as a strong-willed woman with a kind and very loving heart. She is survived by her daughters: Joan Mindel, Charlotte (Merlin) Stingle, Theresa (Randy) Schutt, Robin (Tom) Gilbertson; her sons: Michael (Judy) Griffin, Leon (Kaye) Griffin, David (Lisa) Griffin, Clifford Griffin, William (Vicki) Griffin, Douglas (Sandra) Griffin; 23 grandchildren; numerous great grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; her sister, Rosanna Jensen.
