Rita Ann Quinlan

   Rita Ann Quinlan, 78, passed away on August 12, 2016 at home with her loving family by her side.

   Rita was born on July 6, 1938 to Eleanor and Jerome Vorhies in Bloomfield, NJ. She graduated from Bloomfield High School and went on to work at GE. After marrying her soulmate (the late Edward J Quinlan) in 1957, Rita stayed at home to raise their four children. She later re-entered the workforce at BellSouth in Customer Service for 20 years until retiring in 1998.

   Rita was an amazing mother, devoted wife, wonderful grandmother and great- grandmother, loving sister, and caring friend. Her life was truly dedicated to family in every way. She had a huge heart and always found the positive in everything! Rita kept her sense of humor even in the most trying times. She had a gift for making people smile and brought joy to everyone she met.

   Rita is lovingly remembered by her sister, Katherine Dunn of Atlantic Beach, Fl; her children, Edward J Quinlan, Jr of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Susan Quinlan Agerton of Johns Creek, GA, Karen A Quinlan of Austin, TX, and Michael P Quinlan, Sr of Lake Worth, FL; her grandchildren, Justin D Titus and wife Ginger, Brittany S Quinlan, Trevor J Quinlan and fiancée Katie LeMaster, Brad F Agerton, Austin NAgerton, Danielle Quinlan Wampole, Michael P Quinlan, Jr, Katherine M Quinlan, Jeremy E Quinlan, and Makayla J Riley Quinlan; her great-grandchildren: Camden Titus, Corbin Titus, Hunter Wampole, Gage Wampole, Kaden Quinlan, and Jaxon Quinlan. Rita is predeceased by her parents Eleanor M and Jerome S Vorhies and her brother Jerome S Vorhies.

   A celebration of her life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests those planning expressions of sympathy make a gift to a charity of their choice.

We miss you so much and love you more!
