FIZELL - Rita Diane Angeline (nee Smith) went to be with Jesus April 15th, 2013. Rita was born on Feb. 18th, 1942 to Harvey and Germaine Smith and was the oldest of four children. Rita grew up in the Kincaid district and attended school in the convents in Gravelbourg and Lafleche. Rita met the love of her life Keith Fizell, who on April 23rd, 1960 became her life long partner. Hazenmore became home for them, raising their four daughters there. They farmed in Central Butte in the summers and later in Kincaid until they retired in 2006. Keith and Rita loved woodworking and have many beautiful samples of their work in many homes all over the community. Mom and Dad were never apart they went everywhere together they farmed together each having their own tractor, they did woodworking together, they snowmobiled together with friends, watched baseball games of their children and later their Grandchildren. You could stop in anytime and would find them sitting in their gazebo having a coffee enjoying their beautiful flower filled yard. Their house was a gathering place for everyone as the coffee was always on and if you timed it right quite often a fresh pan of buns were just coming out of the oven. The hospitality and warmth made you always feel welcome. Mom had a strong faith in God and spent many hours reading the Bible and praying, she enjoyed fellowship at the church and loved watching Christian programs. These last few years Mom enjoyed helping her daughter, Tracy plant in her Greenhouse in Vanguard; it became known as “Mom’s Happy Place”. Mom’s sixteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren were also a deep source of Mom’s happiness; she had a wonderful relationship with each one and will be missed by all of us. Rita is survived by loving husband of 53 years J. Keith Fizell, four daughters Kim (Jim Colton) Brandy, Janelle & Chelsea, Connie (Roger Kress), Tyler (Kristen) & Theo, Brittany (Mark Henderson) & Kinsley, Alex (Kelsey), Jenessa, Carmen (Buckley Corcoran), Brad (Jessica) Zakaluzny, Craig (Chantel) Zakaluzny, Mark Zakaluzny (Dana Davis), Trisha, Paul & Brooklyn Zakaluzny, Tracy (John Bickner), Natasha, Brenden & Ashley.
