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.
