Rita Ann Weidner, age 76, of Flora, Illinois, passed away Sunday evening, September 22, 2024, at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri.
She was born January 27, 1948, in Flora, the daughter of George and Bernette (Phillips) Weidner.
Rita will be remembered for her strong sense of independence throughout her life. She had a passion for spending long hours tending to her yard and flowers, and she cherished her pet companions, who held a special place in her heart. Rita enjoyed exploring the latest offerings of QVC and HSN, and had a great love for clothing, shoes, and jewelry. Her last few years were spent at Heritage Woods and she will be missed by many there.
She is survived by a brother, Neil (Robin) Weidner of Louisville; and a sister, Cathi (Rick) Bailey of Louisville; and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Nelson Weidner; and a sister, Marsha Blair.
A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, November 9, 2024, at Dillman Cemetery. Those attending are asked to arrive directly at the cemetery and are invited to dress casually. Arrangements are by Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora. Memorial donations are suggested to assist with final expenses, and these will be accepted through the funeral home.

Rita was such a kind and lovely person. I visited her often while in the hospital and we would talk about our international travels and our fondness of Greece. I hope to visit soon in her honor. Rest in peace Ms. Rita
