Rita Szanto Englund Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Rita Szanto Englund (New Canaan, Connecticut), who passed away on November 5, 2025, at the age of 73, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Rita Szanto Englund to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Rita farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Rita is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her mother Marianne B. Szanto. She is survived by: her father Ivan Z. Szanto (Sven R. Englund) of New Canaan; and her children, Kristen Marianne (Daniel) of Fairfield and Sven A. Englund (Courtney) of Providence, R. I..
Visitation will be held on Thursday, November 20th 2025 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the HoytFuneral Home (199 Main St, New Canaan, CT 06840).
In Lieu of flowers a donation to the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk in her name would be appreciated. http://www.maritimeaquarium.org.
