Rita Veronica Lindo, 90, of Tiverton, RI passed away on the morning of November 28th.  Born in Fall River, MA, she was the daughter of the late Harriet (Cooney) Mitcheson and George Mitcheson.

In her professional life, from the 1950s through the 1980s, Rita worked as an Apparel Production Associate for a clothing manufacturer. She served as a union representative for the garment workers union.

In the 1990s she retired and enjoyed spending time with her husband, Jose, traveling, gardening, and spending summers at the beach on Cape Cod with friends and family. In the mid-1990s she moved to Melbourne, FL, although she remained a dedicated Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots fan- win or lose.  She served as the President of the Homeowners Association Board of her housing development.

Rita lived her life to the fullest and touched the lives of so many. She was a loving and dedicated mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and wife always willing to help and support her family and friends. She was an amazing cook and loved to host family gatherings. She enjoyed playing cards and bingo- I've heard from several friends about her winning streaks.

She was genuinely beautiful inside and out. She brought joy to those she spent time with and made new friends wherever she went- keeping them smiling and laughing. So many sentiments have poured in from friends and family about her wicked sense of humor and how they loved spending time with her at social events. She truly took the time to connect with people from our earliest childhood memories to her friends at the 90s club.

She is survived by her children Gary Rebello (wife Sharon Rebello), Susan Kratofil, and Joanne Rebello. She also leaves behind three grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, a brother, John Mitcheson, and several nieces and nephews. She was pre-deceased by her husband, Jose Lindo.

Visitation will be held at 8:00 am to 9:30am on Tuesday, December 12th at the Pocasset Memorial Funeral Home, located at 462 Main Rd, Tiverton, RI, followed by a 10am Mass at St Christopher's Church, 1554 Main Rd, Tiverton. The interment will be at the Pocasset Hill Cemetery, 44 Grinnell Avenue (off Main Rd), Tiverton.
