Rita Ann Woodbury of Walnut Creek, went to be with the Lord on February 1, 2003. She was 63 years old. Devoted wife of 42 years to Jerry L. Woodbury and loving mother of Debbie, Mark, Suzanne, Bruce and Julie. Loving 'grammy' to David, Alex, Avery, Jacob, McKenna and Morgan. Survived by parents, Frank and Ann Sevick and sister, Betty Rocco of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

An amazing woman who devoted her life to serving Jesus, Rita was an inspiration and encouragement to all who knew her. She truly lived out her faith and has been more than a blessing to us; as she has touched the lives of so many people. Her love, beautiful spirit, and smiling face will be greatly missed by her family and countless friends.
