Rita's Story
Life
My Spouse
My first husband, Bill Thompson, was in the navy and stationed in Newport RI, between 1970 and 1972. and am hopng to find some of our friends we had while we lived there. We were married for 17 years. I met my present husband, Harold Whitesides, upon returning home while divorcing my first husband. He was a customer of my parents Dry Cleaning Establishment, Town and Country Cleaners. We also attended the same church. When I discovered that he went to the church I was attending too, I made sure that I would sit behind him so that he would have to shake my hand, when we all greeted each other. We just started dating and finally decided to marry. He passed away in April of 2010, and we had been seperated for 3 years at that time. During that time I lived with my youngest daughter Tara Thompson who graduated from Clarion Area High School and had some of the same teachers that I had. Funny. I am Liivng in Florida now. My parents live here and I wanted to be near them because of their agees. Also I was hoping that my health may improve by moving here. Well if there is anything else you want to know, send me an email I will be glad ...Expand for more

He is mostly red with black stripes.
