Rita Foley

Rita Foley age 73 passed away September 6, 2019 after a valiant battle versus various ailments. She was born in Omaha on May 23, 1946 to William and Helen Schuchart as the last of 6 children. Being the daughter of a PGA golf professional, Rita often jokingly remarked that her father only taught her brothers how to play golf, but up until her passing, and despite her poor health, she was sincerely confident that she would still learn how to play soon. Rita was retired from the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging where she was committed to helping the elderly live a better life. Rita was a selfless person who was dedicated to and loved her family very much. She enjoyed playing pitch, scrabble and tend to her garden. Rita is survived by husband Robert Foley, beloved dog Sam, children Mary Markvicka (Mike), Brian Finn (Nancy), grandchildren Grace, Katie, Sean, Trevor, siblings Nancy Falke, Kathleen Conry, Thomas Schuchart (Lynn), long-time friend Michael Finn and many beloved nieces and nephews. Per Rita’s request there will be no services held. Any memorial donations are suggested to the Nebraska Humane Society.
