Notes |
- The unusual spelling of Reita happened when her father registered her birth and spelled the name with the extra "e". He had planned to name her Rita that would be more compatible with her identical twin sister's name Lola. Lola died at the age of 9 during a tonsil operation. Reita has had snow-white hair most of her adult life. She took up oil painting when she was in her 50s and proved to be very talented. Her home is beautifully furnished with early Victorian and late Georgian antique mahogany furniture.
