About | Rita Joan Rapinesi passed away suddenly on April 3, 2017 at 83 years young. Born in Conshohocken, Pa., she was the daughter of the late Gerardina and Martire Misciagna. Our Mom was a social butterfly. She enjoyed family, friends, talking to strangers, all babies and children, parties, flowers, cooking delicious meals for multitudes of people, baking her Christmas cookies, the Seven Fishes dinner on Christmas eve, scrabble, ping pong with anyone who she could corner, gardening at her daughter's homes from morning till night, watching sunsets, the Philly Pops, hummingbirds, the Mummers String Bands, music and dancing... She found beauty everywhere and will be missed by all. Survivors: Loving mother of Rita Francesca Davies (the late Stephen Davies), Geraldine, Annette and Louis (Antonia), her grandchildren Marc (the love of her life), Cassie and Emily. Sister of Frank (Pat), Peter (Lucy), Josephine, Martin, Dina (Jack), Albert (Betty) and the late Cecelia, James, Mary, Anne. Also survived by many nieces and nephews and her furry friends, Sunny, Brewster and Adam.
