Rita Marie (Morrow) Wiegert, Beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend, passed away on April 12, 2025. She was born on July 31, 1959.
Rita Marie Wiegert was a beacon of love and light, touching every life she encountered with her warmth, humor, and unwavering kindness. From a young age, Rita was a dedicated and hard worker, always willing to lend a hand or a listening ear. She had a rare and beautiful gift for making people feel truly seen and deeply loved.
Rita was the devoted wife of Bryan Wiegert and the proud and loving mother of Kimberly and Ricky. Her role as a mom was one she cherished, and she extended that love beyond her own family. Many were welcomed into her home and heart as extra sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews — a testament to her generous spirit.
Whether near or far, she never missed a moment to support and celebrate her grandchildren, Mathew, 26, Tyler, 25, Mackenzie, 22, Christopher, 19, and Gabriel, 12. Being a grandmother was one of Rita’s greatest joys.Her family always came first, and she never hesitated to support those she loved.
Rita is now reunited in heaven with her daughter Kim and many other loved ones who went before her. Though she will be missed beyond measure, we can take comfort in knowing she is free from pain and surrounded by eternal love.
Although she suffered with asthma all her life, she tried many different jobs, but couldn’t keep them very long. But each time after she recovered, she would try again. This showed her never-ending strength and commitment.
Though Rita faced many hardships and tragedies in life, she met each with strength, grace, and her signature sense of humor. She trusted in her faith, believed in finding the silver lining and carried herself with a humble pride through every chapter of her journey. Her laugh was truly infectious, a sound that could lift any room and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Rita’s legacy is one of boundless love, laughter, and compassion. She left this world a better place simply by being in it. Her presence will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have met her.
In her honor, we encourage everyone to take some time to share a favorite memory, shed a tear for the incredible woman she was, and then go to Dairy Queen and enjoy a sweet treat, just as she would have wanted.
A celebration of life will be held at the Friendship Center in Indian Village at 4 pm to 9 pm on May 2, 2025. Friends and family are all invited.
Rita we will love you always.
