  October 23, 2011 Rita A. Argy Niagara Gazette NIAGARA FALLS — Rita A. (Gilbert) Argy, 67, a patient sufferer of health issues over a number of years, went home to be with our Lord by the hand of God on eagle’s wings on October 21, 2011. Born November 12, 1943 in Niagara Falls, NY, she was the daughter of the late Frederick and Julia (Majchrzak) Gilbert and attended local schools. Rita was a sweet and gentle person who would give anyone the shirt of her back. God and family were the center of her life and no picnic was quite complete without Rita’s loving touches, from perked coffee to whip cream on apple pie. Rita taught religious education, was a church counselor and choir member. Along with her husband, she was also a member of Divine Mercy Parish and the co-chair of Catholic Charities at Our Lady of the Rosary Church for over 30 years, and she collected on behalf of the March of Dimes. Rita and her husband received the St. Joseph the Worker Award from the church diocese of Buffalo. She also enjoyed making ceramic Christmas trees and crib sets, which she gave to others; gardening and Danish needle painting. Rita had a love for family gatherings - there was only one place for Christmas and that was Rita, Fran’s and Julie’s home. She is survived by her loving husband, Francis Argy; her loving sister and brothers, Patricia Gilbert, Richard (Kathleen) Gilbert and Ronald Gilbert; nephews, Michael, Peter, John and Thomas Gilbert; nieces, Michelle Talley, Pamela Jacoy, Jane DelGrudico and Julie Gilbert; sister-in-law, Bernadette (Larry) D’Aurelio; aunts, Ann Wojton and Stella Chmelarski; also many dear cousins.
