Obituary of Rita Mae Angus (née O’Rourke)
June 2, 1924 – April 17, 2025
With heavy hearts and full spirits, we announce the peaceful passing of Rita Mae Angus on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at Windsor Regional Hospital Met Campus, surrounded by her loving family. Just a little over a month shy of 101, Rita leaves behind a legacy of laughter, strength, and fierce love.
Born in Windsor, Ontario, to Corinne and Patrick O’Rourke, Rita lived through ten remarkable decades and one great love story. She was the devoted wife of 51 years to the late Alfred P. Angus (2000), her golf partner, travel companion, and partner in all things spirited. Together, they were long-time members of St. Theresa Church.
Rita was the proud mother of Mary Lou Harding (David), Joanne Ravanello (late Daniel), and Gerard Angus (Sharon). Proud grandmother to Adam Ravanello, Sarah Ravanello, Trevor Ravanello (Stephanie), Patrick Angus (Mandy), and Lindsay Blank (Isaac)(nee Angus). In her later years, she was especially smitten with her great-granddaughter, Frances Ravanello.
Before starting her family, Rita broke barriers as Ford Motor Company in Windsor’s first female office manager. A long-time member of Kingsville Golf & Country Club, Rita had a smooth swing, a sharp mind for bridge, an uncanny ability to find the best deals, a love for Sunday dinners, and always had room for dessert.
Rita was the heart of our family, our glue and our spark. Her quick wit, big heart, and timeless stories will live on at every gathering. She will be deeply missed, but we take comfort in knowing she’s now got a winning hand, a sale rack to browse, and Al waiting on the 9th green.
Rest easy, Rita—you lived it well.
Visitation will be held at Windsor Chapel Funeral Home – South Chapel, 3048 Dougall Avenue (519-253-7236) on Thursday, April 24, 2025 from 2-5 & 7-9 p.m. Parish Prayers at 4:30 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Corpus Christi Church, 1400 Cabana Road West on Friday, April 25, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Interment Heavenly Rest Cemetery. Donations to the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
Afterglow
I’d like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when the day is done.
I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times, and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave behind
– when the day is done.
