Rita Tylka
Over her lifetime, Rita
held many jobs, but her
career was her family. She
was always ready to lend
an ear, a hand, or a good
“talking-to” when needed.
Her husband and children
never doubted her love and
support for them.
Retiring in 2000, Rita
and Richard moved to
Baker City. Here, Rita was
an active member of the
Altar Society at St. Francis
Catholic Church and the
auxiliary at St. Elizabeth
Hospital (now St. Alphon-
sus-Baker City).
Rita also continued
her career of caring for
her family. Her mother,
Bernice, moved in with
Richard & Rita so that Rita
could care for her in her
fi nal years.
When Bernice's needs
became too great and she
moved to a nursing home,
Rita visited her mother
nearly every day until her
death in 2011. Rita allowed
her daughter Barbara to
mooch countless meals
over the years and pro-
vided "doggie day care" for
her granddog Pocky.
And, of course, Rita
always took care of her
lifelong friend and lover,
Richard. They had a deep,
unshakeable bond nurtured
over decades of marriage.
When Rita's heart disease
suddenly worsened in
November 2014, Richard
was by her side loving,
encouraging, and now
caring for her. Rita rallied
and came home, enjoying
a fi nal summer with her
husband.
Rita Tylka lives on in
the hearts, memories,
and stories of her many
friends and of her family:
her husband Richard; her
brother and sister-in-law,
Raymond and Judy Ba-
ranowski; her son Rus-
sell and daughter-in-law
Nancy Tylka; her daughter
Barbara; her nephews Paul
and Peter Baranowski; her
grandsons Stephen and
Matthew Tylka; and her
step-grandchildren David
Rentauskas, Jr. and Tara
(Rentauskas) Schoen and
family (husband Michael
Schoen and children Court-
ney and Nikolaus).
