Rita Alma LaChance

April 30, 1940 - October 13, 2020

Rita Alma LaChance, 80, loving mother and grandmother, went to meet our Lord on Tuesday, October 13, 2020. She was born April 30th, 1940, in Canaan, Vermont, daughter of Alva and Ethel Caron LaChance. The small family included eight other siblings: Raymond, Ronnie, Roger, Richard, Patrick, Leighann and Marie. Rita continued the small tradition, having eight of her own children. Her greatest accomplishment in life was to serve others. She worked at ManorCare for 18 years. She took great pride in caring for the elderly. Family was the most important thing to her. She cherished the chaotic holidays, attempting to make room for as many as she could at the table. She loved to cook and bake, and not a holiday went by without the little family squabbles regarding the leftover pies. Rita is survived by her eight children, Robert (Vicki) Hood, Earlene (Ron) Wenzel, Terry Hood, Patty (Jeff) Miller, Michael Hood, Richard Hood, Roger (Krista) Hood, and Shawn (Annette) Hood; 13 grandchildren, Kaitlyn Hood, Tonya (Shane) DeCremer, Michael Chellew Jr., Christina Wenzel, Nicole (Joseph) Spade, Lindsay Miller, Elizabeth (Shane) Cotton, Trevor Berger, Joshua Hood, Alyssa Hood, Justin Hood, Mason Staedt, Brittany Lake; 16 great-grandchildren, Clay, Destiny, Harmony, Naveyah, Bethenny, Colton, Eli, Carter, Gianna, Ava, Hazel, Desiree, Bella, Maddie, Kendra and Keelan. She was preceded in death by her father, Alva LaChance; a brother, Raymond LaChance; a grandson, James Hood; and a great-granddaughter, Justice Miller. Private family services will be held. Condolences to the family of Rita Alma LaChance may be expressed online at www.ernashfuneralhomes.com. The family has entrusted the Erickson-Rochon & Nash Funeral Home with the arrangements.
