GUEST,Ardie Lockman, Fresno Folk Dancer and friend 2013 Obit: Rita Weill Byxbe - Sweets Mill singer (22) RE: Obit: Rita Weill Byxbe RIP (September 2013) 20 Sep 13


Rita Weill Byxbe was known as a Folk Singer and was purported to have produced four albums in the 60's and 70's... Rita married Michael Byxbe in 1973, attended by family and friends among the tall trees at the North end of the lake at Sweet's Mill, 4600~ft up in the Sierra-Nevada Foothills... I was able to film the proceedings in Super-8 (silent) media which I gifted them on there first anniversary; 200 feet of film in length... I met Michael through a local Fresno, CA. Folk Dance group we both belonged to... Rita and I were not close other than through Michael, but in the end, upon Michael's death in car crash one rainy night in March, 1991, she graciously picked me to be one of 4 pallbearers in Michael's funeral service... I was very honored to oblige; Michael was my friend... Now, Rita is in a better place, perhaps with Michael forever...
