ENNS, Rita Enns

With profound sadness and gratitude for her life, we announce the peaceful passing on Saturday, August 30, 2025 of Rita Anne (Konrad) Enns, aged 78, after a short illness. She was surrounded by family at the Windsor Regional Hospital, Metropolitan Campus.
Rita was the beloved wife of Ken for almost 60 years. Loving mother to the late Paul and Jenny (Eric Griggs), Lisa and Kent Haase, and Steve and Shelley. Cherished Oma to Amanda (Connor Huxman), Camryn, Sofia Fast (Josh), Grace, Natasha, Simon and Madelynn. Predeceased by her parents, Ben and Susie Konrad. Sister to the late Irene Thiessen (late Helmut), late Rudy (late Linda), Helen Derksen (Ron), late twin Bill (Maria), Henry (Peg), late Peter, and Albert (Kathy). Sister-in-law to Gerda Driedger (late Henry), Marion Driedger (late John), Dennis Enns (Helga), and late Dave Enns (Linda). Also remembered lovingly by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Mom will be remembered for her significant role as partner to dad in their decades of farming outside of Leamington, for her dedication to volunteering at Thrift on Mill, for serving community meals at St. John’s Anglican Church, and for her various church involvements over the years. She was the hub of family information and made sure no one was left out. Mom found joy in baking and in hosting her children and grandchildren for holiday dinners. Most important to her were her family and her faith in God.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff on the 5th floor at Windsor Regional Hospital, Metropolitan Campus for their kindness and care to Rita, and our family in the past few weeks.
