PORT ORANGE - June 14th 1920- July 30th 2021
Rita L Conlon, age 101, passed away peacefully at her residence at the Countryside Lakes Assisted Living Facility in Port Orange, Florida. Rita was born in Bath, New York and resided there until her marriage to John Cronin. They went on to raise 6 children in Mineola, New York. She started working for Great Neck Public Schools to support her 6 children when her husband passed away in 1965. She remarried Arthur Conlon in 1971 and became step mother to 2 additional daughters. When asked to describe her, her family said she was a loving, selfless,sassy, ice cream lover and chocoholic who loved her family and always had a sympathetic ear. Her infectious laugh and sense of humor despite all of her struggles will be  remembered most. Rita was an avid knitter and crocheter and enjoyed reading and playing Bridge. She is survived by her two daughters, two step daughters, two sons, and three grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Rita will be laid to rest next to her first husband, John Cronin at St. Mary's cemetery in Corning, New York. Condolences may be shared with the family here in our online guestbook.
