(nee Marziani) Wife of the late James J. Flood left this world to be with her God on July 25, 2015. Rita lived a long and blessed life, gathering many friends along the way. Collingswood had been her home for 72 years. Her family was her life's blood and she beamed over each time she was in their presence. She never came to a barbecue without her famous potato salad, and the Christmas holidays were made sweeter by her trays of Pizzelle cookies. So we, her family have lost our Mom, Gram and GG but God has added and angel to his choirs.

She is survived by daughters, Brenda (Dan) Wawrzyniak and Bernice (Bill) Carey; grandchildren: Daniel (Mindy) Wawrzyniak, Lt. Col. USMC Ret., Dawn Wawrzyniak, Michael (Heather) Wawrzyniak, Kim (Francis) Carey-Weikel and Kevin (Katie) Carey and 13 great grandchildren: Erik, Max and Nicholas Beck, Cadet 3C Madeleine USAF Academy, Brendan, Dimitri and Dariuz Wawrzyniak, Franny, Billy, Tommy, Seanie and Kevie Weikel and Allison Carey.
