Who reads the fine print - not me - and it appears that most people don't.

If you need proof that nobody reads the fine print, one experiment found that out of 543 university students who signed up for a fake social media platform, all of them agreed to the terms of conditions, including a clause giving up the rights to their firstborn child.

Rita was a long time Gallery resident who moved away within the past year.

DOERNBACH, Harriet 'Rita'

It is with broken hearts that we announce Rita passed away with her family by her side on May 19, 2025 at the AB Smith Homestead House in Kingston. Beloved wife of the late Herbert Doernbach and partner of the late Svend Mortenson. Dear mother of Steve Doernbach (Joanne) of Georgetown, Susan Gray (Murray) of Tamworth and the late Ron Doernbach. Grandmother to James Brett (Lee), Jodi Ottorino (Matt) and Brad Doernbach (Stephanie), Terri Cadeau (Luke) and Michelle Levesque (Kelly). Great-grandmother of Audrey, Tennessen, Rocco, Lucas, Leo, Bennett, Bronson and Grayson. Sister of Sarah Elcome and predeceased by 12 siblings.

Rita had a beautiful soul and was a wonderful Mother. She encountered many hardships in her early years due to the war in Britain and being evacuated.

Rita had a way of acing anything she touched from knitting, painting and cooking. She loved to read and travel.

Rita came to Canada when she was only 19 on her own and the government agency found her a job as a cook/housekeeper for a doctor and his wife in Toronto. She met Herb in a German Club and they were married for 29 years. They lived in Port Credit and finally settled in Terra Cotta.

Mom was so devoted to her family who loved and cherished her very much.

She will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her especially Helen, Ron, Lorna and John.

Cremation has taken place, a private family interment will be held in Georgetown at a later date. Memorial donations made to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) for Providence Care-AB Smith Homestead House would be appreciated. In the care of Hannah Funeral Home, in Tamworth (613-379-2997).
