Rita Murphy Pomerleau
Rita Elizabeth Murphy Pomerleau was an extraordinary woman. Although she left this world on March 10, 2021, she will never be forgotten. Remarkably, both she and her husband lived to celebrate their 100th birthdays. At the time of her death, Rita was surrounded by her family, who had been caring for her in her lifelong home and who had given her the reason to live so long.
Rita was born in 1920 in Melrose, New Brunswick, Canada, to Helena Winnifred Helm and Denis Ignatius Murphy. Rita was the eldest of their five daughters and the last surviving member of her family. Always signing her name as Rita Murphy Pomerleau, she never forgot her Irish heritage or Canadian upbringing.
