Rita Peralta Remembered



News came that Rita Peralta, well-known for her Satin and her secretary work, had passed away in the afternoon of March 26, 2013.   Rita was diagnosed with Leukemia a few years ago but was responding well to the medical treatment until very recently.
 
 We are sharing some of Rita's photos that have been posted on our blog over the years.  We for sure will miss her smiling face in the shows.


This was how we saw Rita in most of the shows, working at the show secretary's table with a big smile on her face. 

This photo was taken at Watsonville, CA.

Rita was also well-known for her colorful nails; look at her bright green nails.

Showing off her blue nails, Rita was happy and at home in front of her computer doing the show secretary's job.

Rita's Satin won Best In Show and Reserve In Show regularly; here is a photo of Rita with her white Satin and Betty with her white English Angora being awarded the honors of Best In Show and Reserve In Show by judge Leslie.  Rita's Satin and Betty's English Angora were both Group winners at the 2003 ARBA convention, they shared the stage together with the two other winners.

This photo was taken at Chico, CA.
 

This was one of Rita's last appearances.  It was Allison's wedding last June, Rita was with her "Old Broad Squad" friends Casey, Leslie, Dolores and Tami.
