Rita Louise Pung's Obituary
Rita Pung, 69, of Port Huron, was called to the Lord on April 23, 2024. Rita was born to the late Gordon and Berniece Pung on April 11, 1955 in St. Clair. She attended public school there. She enrolled in the nursing program at SC4 after high school.
Rita enjoyed bible study, family, friends, bingo, cross stitch, working with the Red Cross and shopping.
She liked the activities and lunches at Sunrise Pace. She was thankful to the staff there and at Community Mental Health for their care and kindness.
Rita is survived by her caring siblings; Mary Gibbons, Susan Pung, Larry Pung, Barbara Huss, Theresa Clor and John Pung. She is also survived by 2 special in-laws, 5 nieces, 6 nephews, 6 great-nieces and 3 great-nephews.
Rita's life was supported by her brother, Larry, for over 30 years and her sister, Susan. Rita was recognized as " a model mental health patient" by Community Mental Health. Her diagnosis at age 17 was
schizophrenia, which was such an unfair and difficult to manage brain disfunction. She tried her best on a daily basis to overcome it.
Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to L.C. Friederichs and Son Funeral Home, St. Clair. A memorial gathering will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be made to Sunrise Pace or St. Clair County Community Mental Health.
