This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Rita Volkering 69 years old , born on August 15, 1950 and passed away on May 10, 2020. We will remember her forever.
Rita Marie (Schweitzer) Volkering was called home on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2020.
She was proceeded in death by her parents Edward and Elizabeth (Davis) Schweitzer; Brothers- Eddie (Carol) and Robert Schweitzer; Sisters- Edna (Harry) Waltz and Loraine (John) Clark. She leaves to cherish her loving memories her beloved sister Rose Brockman, her Children: Barry (Jamie)Volkering, Maggie (Bill Edwards) Volkering, Ringo (Anna Melton) Volkering, her grandchildren Ethan, Devan, Blake, Dillon, Chelsea, Faith and Savannah Volkering; Lila and Sydney Edwards; Cody Collins; Sierra, Nicolette, Cody Sebastian; Lynsey Craft; her Sister-in-law LynAnn Schweitzer, and a host of dear nieces and nephews.
Those who were fortunate enough to know Rita personally will always remember her joking personality, her contagious laugh and smile, her love of Betty Boop and most importantly, her unmatched loyalty to those she loved and to those who loved her. Rita would want everyone to know she is at eternal peace and happiness. The depth of her compassion and generosity was unwavering no matter her own circumstance and should be carried on in each of us, in her memory. “Aunt Rita” as she was affectionately called never met a stranger and will be missed by so many. She was a faithful member of St. Bernard Church.
The family will be forever grateful to her beloved caregiver, Anna Melton.
"We are heartbroken to lose you here on Earth; but, rejoice at the thought of your Heavenly reunion. Until we are together again, we will smile through our tears when we think of you"
Due to COVID-19 and for the safety of everyone’s health, the family has decided to have a graveside service at St. Stephen Cemetery, Ft. Thomas Kentucky, Thursday , May 28th, 2020 at 11:00 A.M. Rita would want nothing more than all her family and friends to be able to come together to share stories and celebrate her life, but more importantly, she would not want to compromise any ones health doing so. There will be an outdoor Celebration of Life to honor her once it is safer for large groups to gather (reach out to family for more information). In lieu of flowers, donations made in Rita’s memory may be made to St. Bernard Church/Perish 401 Berry St. Dayton Ky, 41074.
