Rita A. Krausert, 78, of Huntley, died in her home on April 30, 2024.
Rita was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on July 13, 1945, to parents Allen and Anna (née Howard) Nispel. She met Joseph Krausert while attending Regis High School in Eau Claire, and they began dating after they graduated. They were married on August 12, 1967, and together they raised their daughter Sara in West Bend, Wisconsin. They moved from West Bend to Huntley, Illinois in 2004 to be closer to Sara and her family. Rita cherished every moment that she was able to spend with her grandchildren. She loved being known as their “Ga” and was a constant presence in their lives, whether it was attending their activities and sporting events, sharing stories, or simply offering hugs and kisses. She enjoyed preserving her memories with them in scrapbooks, and her home was filled with photos. Rita’s faith was very important to her, and she rarely missed attending Mass. Rita leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories that will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
Rita is survived by her beloved husband of 56 years, her daughter, Sara (Derek) Roach, her grandchildren, Jules, Sabrina, and Alex, her siblings, Barbara (Dan) Dernbach, David (Judy) Nispel, Bill (Rhonda) Nispel, and Katie (Dan) Butzler, her sister-in-law, Nancy (the late Jim) Nispel, her brother-in-law, Chuck (the late Becky) Whittlinger, and her grand-dog, Rusty.
She was preceded in death by her siblings, Jim (Nancy) Nispel, Mary (Jerry) Boedigheimer, and Becky (Chuck) Whittlinger.
Visitation will be Monday, May 6, 2024, from 9 a.m. to time of Funeral Mass 10 a.m., all at St. Mary Church, 10307 Dundee Road, Huntley.
