Rita Marie Langley, 68, of Bartlett died May 19, 2023. Rita was the beloved mother of Sean and Whitney; loving grandmother of Nicholas; cherished daughter of the late Jack and Margaret Putignano.
Rita was a passionate karate school instructor, beginning as a student and working hard to achieve the role of 6th degree black belt and director of the very school in which she started her journey over 25 years prior. She was much into health and fitness; she loved running, being outdoors either on the path or on the patio with a nice glass of wine. She loved her grandson more than anything and was a true humanitarian and friend to those who knew her. She was also a loving mom to her dog, Abby. She will be greatly missed by all.
