Rita Dolores Ada Maria Vinco Globe
24 May, 1983 – 29 September, 2024

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Rita Globe, lovingly known as Ritzie Ritz, on September 29th, 2024, at the age of 41. Surrounded by her loving family at Lakeridge Health in Oshawa, Rita left this world as she lived it – with grace, love, and a heart full of generosity.

Born on May 24, 1983, in Toronto at Women’s College Hospital, Rita brought joy to everyone who knew her. Her kindness, creativity, and love will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Rita was a beautiful, kind-hearted soul who always put others before herself, making the happiness of her family and friends her greatest priority. Her warmth extended not just to people, but to her beloved fur babies, Jade and Smaug, who brought her immense joy. She found happiness in vacationing with her family, whether they were flying to Disney World or cruising through the Caribbean, always cherishing those precious moments together.

A true artist at heart, Rita's talents knew no bounds. She could play 13 instruments, wrote and sang her own songs, and even published some on music platforms. Her creativity spilled into photography, drawing, and crafting, with her artistic spirit reflected in every endeavor. Always full of ambition, she successfully launched multiple online businesses, and even during her hospital stay, her selflessness and creativity shone through. From her hospital bed, she designed stunning crystal gem art, gifting it to the nurses and doctors who cared for her, as a token of her deep gratitude for their unwavering attention to her happiness and comfort.

Rita leaves behind her devoted and loving husband, Graham, and their beautiful daughter, Raine, who were the lights of her life. She is also survived by her loving mother, Doris Freake (Cyril), predeceased by her father, William Stevason (Theresa), loving mother and father-in-law predeceased Lorraine Globe, Kenneth Globe (Elaine), truly loved by her great-grandparents, predeceased Doris and Dominic Vinco, and predeceased grandfather Sal Vinco (Alice). Rita will always hold a special place in the hearts of her Great Aunt, Mary Peldiak (Ed). She will be greatly missed by her siblings, cousins, and friends.

The family wishes to express heartfelt thanks to Father Ed for the laughter and spiritual guidance he shared with Rita.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for memorial donations to be made in Rita’s name to a charity of your choice.

Mass for Rita will be held at Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, Friday, October 11th, at 11am.
373 Simcoe St S, Oshawa, ON L1H 4J2

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Rita’s love and light will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Courtice Funeral Chapel.
