Rita Ricci

23 juillet 1959 - 14 janvier 2023

C’est avec le cœur lourd que nous avons le regret d’annoncer le décès de Rita Ricci le 14 janvier 2023, après une courageuse bataille contre le cancer.   Rita a laissé une trace indélébile gravée dans nos cœurs.

Épouse bien-aimée et âme sœur d’Yves Saint-Jean à qui elle était mariée depuis 29 ans.  Prédécédée par ses parents Michele Ricci et Marianna Mercurio, son frère Giuseppe, ses beaux-parents Steve Saint-Jean et Yvette Desormiers, et son beau-père Gérard Rivest.  Lui survivent son beau-fils Frédéric (Manu); ses frères et soeur Domenico (Gina), Mario (Jocelyne), Donata (Filippo), Tony (feu Sara); sa belle-sœur et beau-frère Francine et Robert.  Rita laisse également dans le deuil ses neveux et nièces Michele (Grace), Nicola (Elizabeth), Tania (Duane), Melissa, David (Stephania), Jessica, Vanessa (Anthony), Nadia et Isabelle et son beau-neveu Marc-André.  Elle manquera à toute la famille et aux amis.

Nous nous souviendrons de Rita comme une personne tenace, courageuse et généreuse, au grand cœur, qui adorait ses bébés chiens. Sa gentillesse, sa générosité et sa chaleur seront perpétuées par sa mémoire.

Le 21 janvier il y aura une diffusion en direct à partir de 9:00.

    Je me rappelle avec nostalgie des nombreux noël passés avec toi chez mes grand-parents.

  10. Rest in peace my dear Rita. Your wonderful spirit and natural intellect were a joy to experience. Working with you on BAFT and IIBLP Letter of Credit committees and conferences was delightful – you always gave me fresh perspectives on complex issues. It was also delightful spending time getting to know each other on a more personal level – sharing doggie stories and pictures! I will miss you.

    My condolences to all those left behind, far too early.

  11. My deepest condolences. Rita was an outstanding, kind, caring, and giving individual who selflessly shared her extensive knowledge of the Trade Finance Industry with others, including me. Her physical presence is deeply missed here on earth, but her spirit will live on in the many hearts she touched—so long, sweet angel.
