She would always just walk up and hug me then walk away, it always gave me the boost I needed. She was like my segregate mom. She gave me so much of her knowledge and wisdom, and really shaped who I am today - I was only 20 when she graced my life. I will forever be grateful to her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-57023613114138828942011-08-01T07:34:29.828-04:002011-08-01T07:34:29.828-04:00Rita McQueeney, as a career DPU employee, represen...Rita McQueeney, as a career DPU employee, represented the heart and soul of the Department. She was an institution that took much pride in the work of the agency and her role in its development.<br /><br />Rita witnessed a lot as Commissioners and staff transitioned into and out of the Department, and she was always there with kindness and wisdom, providing the grounded perspective that each of us were simply temporary custodians of an important institution that has a long history and solid tradition.<br /><br />Rita was a more critical component of that tradition than any of the temporary custodians passing through the Department’s doors. While we all mourn her passing, we celebrate the role she played, the grounded perspective she provided, the wisdom of her guidance and the constant smile she presented. She is deeply missed.Robertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-10577146758534268422011-07-31T12:30:25.363-04:002011-07-31T12:30:25.363-04:00What a gem she was, and we were all privileged to ...What a gem she was, and we were all privileged to have worked with her and known her. <br /><br />She lived life with such enthusiasm, optimism, pragmatism, genuineness, spunk. There aren’t very many of her special kind out there.Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-21574549492171520902011-07-31T12:29:14.550-04:002011-07-31T12:29:14.550-04:00From Facebook:
