Rita M. Herberholz, age 90 of West Bloomfield, passed away March 24, 2020.

Rita was a kind and gentle soul who cared for others deeply. She loved to spend time with her family and friends and her company was always welcomed. Remembering her roots, Rita was very proud of her Irish heritage and always had a sense of adventure. In her early adult years, she enjoyed traveling as much as she could to destinations both far and near. An admirer of fashion, Rita always looked her best, often appearing in her most fashionable clothing. A longtime parishioner of Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church, she was faithful in her devotion to the Lord. As a West Bloomfield resident for over 55 years, Rita will be dearly missed by her community, her friends, and most of all, her loving family.

Rita was the beloved wife of Richard for 57 years. Loving mother of Richard Jr., Laura, Gary and Sheila (John) Belkowski. Proud grandmother of Jacob Belkowski. Dear sister of the late John Meehan Jr. and Mary Laiho.

Due to current circumstances, private family services have been held. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a memorial contribution in Rita’s name to Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church, 3725 Erie Drive Orchard Lake, MI 48324.
