Rita Kay BuszRita Kay Busz, a lifetime resident of Warsaw, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, March 13, 2020, at Majestic Care in New Haven, just one day before her 60th birthday.
Rita was born on March 14, 1960, in Warsaw, to Harold Swope and Patsy Taylor Hamilton. She attended Warsaw Community High School and worked for several local businesses throughout her life, including Prairie View Nursing Home (now Warsaw Meadows) and Miller’s Merry Manor. She is also remembered for the many years she worked at Owen’s in the bakery department.
Rita loved bike riding, hunting for bargains at garage sales and time spent with her children and her family.

Her father, Harold Swope; and brother, Randy Swope; preceded her in passing.
