Many happy memories of Auntie Rita from childhood days on Maes Glas to hurrying Margaret up in Aldi only a week before she died. Thank you for supporting many of the school galas I organised. Rest in Peace now. Love and best wishes to Auntie Margaret and all the family. Live Darren (and all the Dentith family) xx

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the passing of our kind and generous Auntie Rita. Even after our family moved to Canada in the early sixties, she visited us often and continued to send us annual Christmas gifts up until last year.

She was proud and supportive of her family, often expressing delight in their achievements. Her energy and enthusiasm were unmatched well into her nineties. She was a tireless promoter of our Welsh heritage and during our visits would often drive us throughout the countryside showing us key attractions and explaining the history, which she knew in great detail.

We offer our deepest sympathy to her children, Margaret, Brenda, and Irene and their families, as well as Auntie Rita’s many other friends and relatives. We share in your grief, sending you all our love from Canada.
