Rita K Heise, age 86, of Rhinelander, died Feb. 20, 2022, at the Milestone Senior Living in Rhinelander. She was born July 31, 1935 in Rhinelander, the daughter of Hubert and Matilda (Bleischmidt) Damask. Rita was born in Rhinelander and attended schools here graduating from the Rhinelander High School in 1953. She married Keith Heise Oct. 22, 1955 and they were blessed with four children. She was a lifelong resident of Rhinelander.

Rita loved the outdoors and spent many hours in her garden tending to the plants and many hours in her kitchen cooking the fruits of her labor. She also loved to knit. At any time you could find her with a pair of mittens or a scarf in her hands putting on the final touches. If her children or grandchildren didn't need them, they were usually donated to the St. Mary's bazaar. Above all else, Rita loved her family and the time she got to spend with them.

Rita is survived by her two daughters Cindy (David) Kaechele, Lori A Heise, and son Jeffrey Heise. She is also survived by six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her mother, Mathilda Damask, father, Hubert Damask, husband, Keith and son, John T Heise.

Private family services will be held at a later date. You may leave your private condolences for the Heise family at www.carlsonfh.com. The Carlson Funeral Home (715-369-1414) is serving the Heise family.
