Rita J. Black Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on September 19, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Rita J. Black of State College, Pennsylvania. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Rita J. Black to show support.

As Rita departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Rita may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Rita leaves behind.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Thomas Filip and Mary Filip (Rynes). She is survived by: her children, Edward (Christine) of Tampa, FL, Charles (Sheryl) of Kennett Square, PA and Jeanne (Michael McKinney) of State College, PA..
