Dear Friends and Family,
​
We are sad to inform you that our mother and grandmother, LaRita Jean Archibald, left our world this morning due to complications of old age.
She was 91 and, until the last month or so, was self-sufficient and relishing the time she had left, which she knew was short. We will miss her, but we will always cherish her memory and recall her many kindnesses to family and friends, and to the many strangers she helped grieve the death of a loved one. She loved life and all of us and she maintained her sassy sense of humor until the very end.
Her sons and grandchildren will be organizing a memorial service to celebrate her life and we will be sure to inform you of the time and place in the next few weeks.
​
​
Sad Regards,
Craig, Curtis and Kevin Archibald
