Rita Solinas 1931”‰–”‰2007 - Santa Barbara

“When I think of Rita, the image that comes most often to me is that of her smile, the radiance of which was one of her gifts to so many of us. As many of you know, she was more than just a smile. Rita was a fighter, and she became an ardent advocate for the Mexican-American community. City Councilmembers knew Rita for her pithy remarks, spoken with a passion and directness that was hard to ignore.”
