Rita was born on June 15, 1978 in Manhattan, New York, the second daughter of Dr. Richard and Amy Commentucci. Shortly thereafter, the doctor established a medical practice in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. Dr. Commentucci moved his family to Colts Neck in 1982 where Rita was raised. At a young age, Rita overcame serious health difficulties. Known for her big personality and her love of life and laughter, she became a fixture at Dr. Commentucci’s office where she worked behind the reception desk and became a beloved member of the community. Rita was best known as the constant companion of her father.
In 2006, Rita became an aunt for the first time, which transformed her life. Rita spent her life dedicated to caring for and helping to raise her nephews, whom she loved as her own children.
Rita was an active member of her parish, Saint Catherine, where she, along with her mother, regularly attended mass. Rita was deeply religious.
Rita was known as a joyful, pure-hearted, and sweet person who loved her family dearly.
The funeral mass will be held on January 18, 2022 at Saint Catherine Laboure, 110 Bray Ave. North Middletown at 9:30 a.m. In lieu of traditional remembrances, please consider making a donation in Rita’s name to the Church of St. Catherine of Laboure, 100 Bray Avenue, N. Middletown, NJ 07748.

To my dearest "Reet"
I had the honor of personally knowing Rita and I'm so grateful to have been blessed to have been forever impacted by such a force of wisdom, determination, love, and strength,to know Rita was to love her. Rita had her own name for everyone for my husband it was "Buddy Ol Pal", and she lit up whenever he was around,she even had to be the appointed director when Buddy Ol Pal removed the oversized refrigerator from their kitchen,or pointed out to him recently what tree branches needed to be cut back.Im humbly honored to be a part of Rita's Jesus To Mankind prayer group, like her mother Amy,Rita was very devout and Pious.Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother was placed first above all in Ritas life and she was without a doubt a fierce prayer warrior and soldier for Christ.Rita prayed non stop when her Buddy Ol Pal was near death thirteen months ago alone in the hospital with a covid diagnosis and Miraculously survived against all odds.Rita always had a Rosary in her hand, her Faith ran deep and radiated out from within.I know that the Angels took sweet Rita to Heaven where she now in in the company of her earthly Father and her Heavenly Father and the Mother of her God.Rita you will be forever etched in my heart and I love you.It's not good bye my dear friend its " see you later" To Amy,Lisa,Mark, and her nephews that she loved as her own may you find comfort that Rita will be waiting for all us at The Golden Gate upon our arrival and resting in the Loving Arms of Our Holy Mother and Our Lord whom she loved her tender heart.God Bless you all during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to your entire family. Rita was my student at the W.R. Satz School in Holmdel during her middle school years. She always had a smile and sweet personality.
One very funny and fond memory I have occurred at Halloween time. The staff dressed as storybook characters. My teaching partner and I dressed as Red Riding Hood’s Grandmother and the Big Bad Wolf. Rita thought this was very comical and nicknamed us “Granny and Woofie”. The names stayed with us for many years.
Keep your memories of her close to your heart. She is now a special Guardian Angel for all of you.❤️🙏

We are so sad to hear if Rita’s passing. She was so outgoing and just a great person to be around. She loved going to AC with her dad and my husband. They had great times together. She loved her nephews so much. Fly high Rita. We will miss you
