Excerpts from the introduction by Doris Dandurand during the presentation of Rita-May's 60 year pin at the 67th Provincial Convention in Kentville, June 2015.

Rita-May, life member, served on executives at Provincial, Diocesan and Parish levels.
A true and sincere friend who offered

a helping hand to all in need
always a hearing ear and a listening heart
a special Catholic
a special CWL member

Jesus said ''Love one another''.
Here is one instance when following a directive of Jesus is easy.
