It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rita Maureen Fuchs, age 70, who left us on Monday, July 14, 2025. Born on March 7, 1955, to the late Raymond and Charlotte Reinke. She was a 1973 graduate of James Madison High School. Rita brought warmth, creativity, and compassion into the lives of everyone she encountered. Rita spent her life dedicated to her family and her work. Known for her warm spirit and compassionate nature, she was an integral part of both her family and the community. Her meticulous work and dedication did not go unnoticed in her professional life, and she formed many cherished friendships during her time in the office.
A lover of social gatherings, she cherished her time with friends, often leading the charge for fun and laughter. The joy of crocheting was a thread that wove through her life, with every piece she created holding a story, a memory, and a touch of her thoughtful nature. Anyone that was gifted with one of her crafts knows how much thought and planning went into each stitch. In addition, she enjoyed working with Jen’s Sweet Treats, spending leisure time at the YMCA, and will be remembered for her countless hours of volunteering at the VA Medical Center.
Rita had an affinity for the color pink, delighted in the beauty of butterflies and angels, and had a soft spot for carnations, each holding a special place in her heart.
She is survived by her daughter, April Fuchs, who was the light of her life. She also leaves behind her beloved brother, Randy who fondly remembers the laughter and love they shared through the years. Rita’s warmth, kindness, and ability to bring people together will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
In addition to her parents, Rita was preceded in death by her brothers, Roger, Rick, and Raymond Reinke.
In lieu of flowers, Rita would appreciate donations to your favorite charity.
