After marrying Paul Kazina on June 19, 1954 she moved to Winnipeg where she worked as an office assistant for several years.

Rita never again worked outside of the home, dedicating herself to the raising of her son, taking care of the home and pursuing her interests. Rita loved to knit and to garden. She was an excellent cook and loved to bake. First and foremost was her passion for taking care of her family. The family wishes to thank all of the staff and residents at Riverview Health Centre that touched her life in so many different ways.
