It is with great sadness that the family of Rita Patricia James announce her peaceful passing on Friday, 19th June 2026.
Rita was a dearly loved mum, nan, great-nan and friend. She was the heart of our family, and her kindness, warmth and unconditional love touched everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all whose lives she enriched.
Flowers are welcome, or if preferred, donations in Rita's memory may be made to the Alzheimer's society.
Following the service, we would love for family and friends to join us at The Jobbers Rest, Upminster, RM14 3LT as we come together to celebrate Rita's wonderful life, share treasured memories and raise a glass to the amazing lady she was.
Forever in our hearts, always in our thoughts.
