It is with my sincere condolences to all of Reta’s Family
I worked with Reta during her time at Barker Willson’s Firm until her retirement. She spoke often with such love and endearment about her sons and the excitement of grandchildren. Her Mom and Dad were an important part of her life, and expressed her specialness in their relationship. Reta was gifted with talent, music and her stained glass workmanship which was commissioned in churches as well as other buildings. She leaves behind those she loved and her workmanship for those to admire endlessly.
I knew Reta from contra dancing in Ottawa. Even though she moved away, I always enquired about her through a mutual friend. I will always remember how pretty and cheerful she was. My condolences to her family and numerous friends.
Marie, the Hewitt family, extended family members, and Reta’s friends:
My sincere condolences on your loss of Reta. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and may she rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Terri Bennett
Mrs. Hewitt and all extended family. My sincere condolences to you all at this very difficult time. I went to school with Reta in Smiths Falls. Reta was the soloist at our wedding, many years ago. She was such a friendly, kind and thoughtful person. We met for lunch, after not seeing each other for a very long time, and she talked so much about her boys and their families, very proud of all of you. Remember all the special memories
Sending sincere condolences to all of Reta’s family and extended family. I attended high school in Smiths Falls with Reta. She was such a sweet lady and always had a smile and a story whenever we saw each other. May special memories carry you in the days and weeks ahead. Noreen, thinking of you as we both talked about Reta from time to time. Take good care.
We loved her energy and her smiles, as neighbours in Cobourg, their move to Sydenham and then their move to the north, to Timmins and their return to the south. She shared so much with so many. Rest in peace. Doug Beauchamp family, Cobourg Ontario.

Wayne & I offer sincere condolences to Reta's family and friends.
It was an honour to have known Reta. She was a person that you don't meet twice in a lifetime. Reta was kind, generous and full of joy. She listened with her whole heart.
Her friendship was a gift I will never take for granted.
Thank you Reta for the love, the laughter & the memories.
