Adding to Charley Collins remembrances of Rita, I have to add that she was a marvel at remembering all the names of my children and family. She never forgot to ask about each one and knew what I had shared previously. Her interest in others was such an endearing trait. The angels sang a sweet song for her. All our love to the Daly and Hogan families.

WOW - Knew my "Aunt" Rita since my 1st grade. Whatta gal she was. My mother Anne Vogel Collins & she were BFF. Funny history is my father Chuck dated Rita and my mother Anne dated Dan Daley. Somewhere in time the girls Rita and Anne switched men! LOL. Being a Bradforian myself, always enjoyed visiting the Daly clan and then what great fun it was when Bill Hogan and Rita married and lived on Cape Cod where Chuck & Anne were too. The memories of them both at the Bass River Yacht Club Regatta parties were famous. I will certainly miss talking with Rita these past years. Sharp of mind was a thing I marveled at. To all the Daly & Hogan clans-people, my Wife Susie and I offer our love & fondest of great memories to you all for Rita Daly Hogan.

My mom grew up with your mom. My grandmother was the Johnston''s cook/housekeeper. My mom, Rose Gainey Fenstemaker, would tell stories of riding in the rumble seat of Mr. Johnston''s car.
