Rita Diana Doty of Ocala, FL, went to rest with the Lord on Friday, September 5, 2014. Rita was born in Lockport, NY on June 21, 1938 to the late Catherine R. (Rundio) and Benjamin P. Trudnowski. She was the widow of Frederick W. Doty, her husband of 30 years, whose love she greatly missed since his passing in April 2013.

Loving survivors include her brother, Benjamin Trudnowski of Newfane, NY; her son, James Bisher, Jr. (Joanna); her daughter, Diana Gerland (David); her grandsons, Jonathan Bisher and Jacob Bisher; her great-granddaughter, Chloe Bisher and her cousins, Martha Chilcott, Mary Ann Cutter (Donald) and Joseph Rundio (Beverly); and her grand puppies, Daisy and Moxie.

Rita was an Avon Representative for many years. She achieved President's Level - an exclusive club for Avon's top sellers. Rita was employed by Lockport City School District, serving school children at Washington Hunt School. She taught crocheting and knitting through the New York State Federation of Home Bureaus, Inc., and was an accomplished quilter and needle-worker. After moving to Florida she participated in the Big Sun Senior Games and won several medals. Her hobbies included quilting, crafts, water aerobics and shuffleboard. Her passion was playing cards and board games, building puzzles, watching television game shows, going on her casino trips to play the penny and nickel slots, and winning at bingo. She handmade Christmas ornaments every year to give to family and friends that will be greatly missed. She loved living at Oak Run and neighbors could see her driving her golf cart to go to the pool and club house.

Rita will be dearly missed. The family will receive friends at TAYLOR & REYNOLDS FUNERAL HOME, corner of Transit and Niagara Streets, on Saturday, September 13, 2014, from 8:30-9:30 AM, followed by prayers at 9:30 AM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 AM at St. John the Baptist Church. Interment at St. Patrick's Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, a donation to your favorite charity in Rita's name would be most appreciated.
