Before joining the Rehoboth Team in 2014, Rita managed her own business as a Professional Painter. She has taken that same hard work ethic and eye for detail into the management of everyday life at Rehoboth.
Rita and her husband John raised 4 kids and now enjoy watching their adult children establish themselves where God has planted them. They are also blessed to enjoy 4 grandchildren, including triplets. She enjoys and values spending time with her family, especially summer BBQ’s. In the quieter moments Rita enjoys reading or picking up a smaller paintbrush to create beautiful watercolours, using the beauty of God’s good creation for inspiration.
