Rita Perry [ Muggridge] August 01, 1923 – May 19, 2022
It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mom/ grandmother, Rita Perry (Muggridge) of Musgravetown, on May 19, 2022 in her 99th year (August 01, 1923). While we are deeply saddened, we are also extremely grateful and fortunate to have had a loving Mom for so many wonderful years. Mom had a very caring and generous nature which she shared with all her family and friends. Her world may have been small, but she filled it to the brim with love and she was content beyond measure. As long as Mom could give,she was happy. She loved to laugh and have fun, especially with a game of cards, right up to the last days of her life. She brought a smile to everyone who knew her. Time spent with Mom was time well spent. She loved to tell stories from her earlier days, especially funny ones. Her memory was remarkable and her wealth of knowledge of the past amazed and entertained us all. Though we will always miss her, we find great comfort in believing she is with her heavenly family now, especially Dad.Mom was predeceased by Walter L.
