She is survived by her son, Tim and wife Linda C. “Suzy” Mynahan, their children Jenny Abeles and her husband Stephen, their two children Conor and Quinn, T.J. Mynahan and his wife Jewel, their two children Lola and Arielle; and her son, Dan and his wife Linda M. Mynahan.

Besides her parents, Rita was predeceased by her husband Joe; brothers, Joseph, James, O’Brien, Patrick, Peter, and Hugh Riordan, and sisters, Jane Riordan and Rose Orcutt.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Montello Manor for the great care she received there. At her request, there will be no visitation.
