Rita Mae was born July 17, 1924, to William (Bill) and Clarisse (Olinger) Michels. She went to school at St. Martin Catholic School in Emery. After graduation from high school, she went to work at the family grain elevator. She later went on to work at another family business (John Deere) where she ran the parts department. Rita Mae was a tireless worker and many times opened the shop after hours to sell parts to needy farmers in the area. Rita Mae worked all of her life in service to God and others until her “retirement” and moved to Diamond Care Nursing. She was a visitor and volunteer at the home for many years prior to her living there. Rita Mae’s life was centered around her faith and her family. She lived with and was a caregiver for her mother until her death in 1979. She was a faithful servant of God and was always the first to volunteer for any church project, funeral service, or cleaning and care for the church facilities. She was a selfless person who spent her life attending to others, always placing their wants and needs above her own. She touched many peoples’ lives with her independence, faith and servant mentality. Mae’s spirit will live on in all of those whose lives she touched. She is survived by her niece and nephews Mary Jo Davis and her husband Doyle, Scottsdale, Arizona, Michael Michels (deceased) and his wife Bev (Lenny) Blue, Sioux Falls and their daughter Michelle (Tony) Boar, Harrisburg, Paul Michels, North Sioux City, and Steve Michels, Sioux Falls and his children JoHanna (Louis) Sitting Crow, Dakota Dunes, Lydia (Dave) Gleiser, Sioux City, Julean Michels, Sioux Falls, and Chloe Michels, Chicago along with 10 great-great-nieces and nephews. - Bittner Funeral Chapel
