Dear Hetel Cousins/Families, Aunt "Cioci" Rita always wore a beautiful smile and was the kindest person anyone would ever meet. Whether at a family ocean beach party at Misquamicut Beach, a day at Rotary Beach, a barbeque at a cousins back yard, Christmas or a chance meeting at the mall, she always brought the warmth of a closely knit second generation family of Polish-American immigrants who liked to hug and compliment one another in a most reassuring way at any gathering. She took great pride in her husband, children and grandchildren, enthusiastically accepting her role in the molding of her American family. She was what made us a loving family. And so, at her passing, I celebrate the life of my wonderful Cioci Rita. Along side of your beloved husband and my uncle “Big Sid” Ed Hetel, may you rest in eternal peace.
