Rita was noted during school years in Lampman for medals in track and field. She married John Hall of Kisbey in 1962 and moved to Regina where she became an accomplished bowler, excelled at cross stitch, needle point and knitting producing dozens of afghans and wall hangings. Rita had a green thumb and spent hours in her yard. She worked with challenged people in the Approved Homes program, which was a first of its kind program that integrated rather than institutionalize people with mental illness. She later worked with the Provincial Government for 21 years. She gave back to community as a Library Assistant at St Francis, fund-raising for the Fraser Pipe Band and Regina Highland Dance Association, and the British/Celtic/ Scottish Pavilion in the Mosaic Festival.

In her latter years she loved spending time with her grandchildren and watching them perform in sports, highland dancing and pipe band activities; she loved and thoroughly enjoyed her puppy Peaches, and grand puppies Llydya and Wilson. She reveled in spending time with family, friends and neighbours.
