April 21, 1950 ~ December 01, 2022

Rita M. Temple of Palm Bay, FL passed away peacefully at her home on December 1, 2022 at the age of 72. Rita was born in Milford, CT on April 21, 1950 and spent most of her life in Milford and Stratford, CT before moving to FL. She is survived by her devoted husband William (Tom) Temple of 51 years; daughters, Kim Gruttadauria (Mark) Kori Stewart (Steve); grandchildren, Tyler, Kaily, Nora and Tessa; sister, Janet Lopin (Bob) aunt, Janet Armour; several nieces and nephews; great nieces & nephews. She is predeceased by parents, Raymond and Rita Faulkner, Sr. & brother, Raymond Faulkner, Jr. 

Rita loved cruising with her husband, she was proud of her daughters families and successful careers, adored spending time and FaceTiming with her grandchildren, treasured her friendships with Barbara & Barbara and others, cherished her 2 pups, appreciated the time her niece, Dani, spent with her when she moved to FL, and could always be seen with a big smile on her face while driving. She loved her somewhat curious favorite snacks.

In lieu of flowers, give your closest friends a hug.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
