Priest Lake Food Bank

​

​

The Priest Lake Food Bank is sad to announce the passing of our dear friend and longtime Treasurer, Rita Ringo. Rita passed away peacefully on August 18th, following a hard fought battle with cancer. Long before, and throughout her illness, Rita brought joy to those around her. Food Bank clients always made an extra effort to come in, say hi and check on Rita‘s well-being. Those of us that were fortunate to work with Rita have shared many special ways she touched our lives. 

In addition to her work with the Food Bank, Rita was a member of the Lions Club, had amazing needle-work skills, was an avid card player and enjoyed giving back to her Priest Lake community. Rita‘s very favorite past time was square dancing with her husband George, who passed away in 2005. Together, the pair danced their way throughout Washington, Idaho, Montana and Canada making friends and memories along the way. 

While Rita will always remain in our hearts, we are comforted by the thought  of her reuniting with George and happily twirling together, forever in heaven
