Passed away peacefully on June 30, 2018. She was 81 years old. Reta was born in Washington, DC on March 25, 1937. Reta’s greatest passion in life was her children. She is survived by her four wonderful children: Linda Gottlieb (Ron Gottlieb), Michael Feldman, Cindy Feldman and Patti Frye (Tony Frye). Reta was the adoring grandmother of 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. A lifelong animal enthusiast, Reta took great joy in her beloved cats and birds. A longtime resident of Rockville, Maryland, she loved her home and memories, which manifested itself into her love of antique furniture and collectibles, many of which were frames that housed pictures of her family from over the years. Her professional life centered around her interest in decor, as she held positions as a sales associate with Saah Furniture in Rockville and Hollace Clare in Olney. She will be remembered for the kindness she extended to all and the love she gave to her family. A graveside service will be held at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery, 13801 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring, MD on Monday, July 9, at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Reta’s memory to the Animal Allies Rescue Foundation or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
