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.

    One of the finest ladies I have been honored to know and work with for over 20 years. A heart of gold – soft and pure – and a mind which never stopped thinking about how to do things better and and help others. When we disagreed we never argued – Rita and I would ask questions until we were certain we understood each others position and reasoning and then we figured out how to proceed. Always a discussion among friends who saw things slightly differently.

  8. Tod Burwell dit :

  9. Buddy Baker dit :

    I remember the first time I met Rita was at an IIBLP conference in Miami, many years ago. We attended many conferences together after that and worked together on BAFT committee assignments. She always impressed me with her detailed recall of letter of credit rules, laws, and court decisions and her ability to apply this knowledge and share it with others. I will miss her.
