Rita M. Marsolek

Rita M. Marsolek, 60, of Whitehall, passed away peacefully in her home, July 6, 2024, with family by her side, after her courageous battle with breast cancer.
Rita was born September 13, 1963, to Roger “Tony” and Ruth (Miller) LaPorte. She was united in marriage to Gary Marsolek; later divorced.
Rita attended Mondovi Schools, graduating from Mondovi High School in 1982. Rita loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, family and friends above all. She was always active and loved to spend time watching the Packers, winning a raffle, reading, quilting and traveling. She was full of life and she would encourage you to share a smile, take the chance, see the sights and walk the beach to find that next agate or sand-dollar.
Rita will be forever missed by her children: Kyle and Kayla (Tyler); grandchildren: Adian and Bryson; her siblings: Robin (Steve), Renee (Paul), Roger (Tina), Tony (Gaby) and Leslie; and her step-siblings: David (Betty), Lenice (Greg), Sandra (Tom), Dale (Marie), Charlene (Jim), Annette (Scott), Douglas (Sandy), Dan (Kim), Tammy, Cindy (Rick) and Vickie; nieces and nephews: Matt (Chelsea), Dylan, Alton, Shyla, Tryton, Bryce; and many step-nieces and nephews, other relatives, and special friends, including: Roselle, Connie, Tanya, Wendy and Julie.
Rita was preceded in death by her grandparents; parents; stepmother, Yvonne; sister, Rae Lynn; god-sons: Joey and Everett; and step-brother, Dale.
