Rita C. Conn
June 24, 1944 — November 14, 2014

Rita and her family moved to north central Kansas when she was a small child. She graduated from Clyde High School.
On September 2, 1974 she married Darrel K. Conn at the Ada Lutheran Church near Kackley. This happy union was blessed with two sons Dusty and Chris. After her marriage, they lived for a time in the Jamestown & Scottsville area before moving to the Asherville area where they enjoyed their rural home.
A friendly, hardworking and people loving person, Rita enjoyed life. She worked at several places in the Beloit area, always making friends along the way. She especially enjoyed being the Shipping and Receiving Clerk for Carrico Implement Company.
Rita's greatest joy in life was her family. She loved doing things with them, whether it be a birthday celebration with her sisters or a camping adventure at Lake Waconda. Rita loved the great outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and gardening. Many a happy evening was spent on her deck visiting with her children and grandchildren.
