MARY RITA FALLON (nee Stringer)  beloved wife of James J. Fallon (deceased) of 60 years. Loving mother to Laura Fibbi (Terry), Maureen Adler (Chuck) and Anne Carney (Pat).

Daughter of Mark and Anne Stringer (deceased), sister to Jerry, Anne Therese (deceased), Patricia, Jim and Ursula (deceased), loving sister-in-law, aunt and friend to many, especially Mary Rita's neighbor and friend Barb Boymer.

Mary Rita was a proud Lakewood girl. She graduated from St. James School and Lourdes Academy, of which she could still proudly sing 'most' of her Alma Mater. She worked for many years at Our Lady of the Angels school. She was a dedicated and active member of her parish, St. Marks. Mary Rita was always the first to lend a helping hand and quick to  ask "what can I get you?". She was constantly 'on the go'. Something Mary Rita loved to do was to get outside for a walk. She loved walking through her neighborhood, whether it was to see neighbors, get to mass, the store or even walking all the way to Lakewood Hospital to deliver communion. Mom never stopped. She constantly gave of herself. She was always present at each and every event for her children and then for all of her grandchildren, who loved going to Gram's house because they knew she'd always make them feel welcomed, loved and special. She was our biggest fan.
